The JAI research is built on the expertise in laser-accelerator interactions, design and operation of the brightest electron rings and light sources, machine-detector interface and final-focus systems, handling of proton and muon beams for medical and particle-physics applications, and excellence in advanced beam diagnostics, instrumentation and simulation. Members of the institute contributing to many national and international facilities and experiments (Diamond, ALICE, EMMA, MICE, ATF2, CTF3, PETRA III, ISIS, FETS), proposed projects (ILC, CLIC, PAMELA), and projects under implementation (ESS, LHC upgrade, Super-B).

The JAI is engaged in research along the following directions:

1. Electron beams
2. Proton beams
3. Advanced Instrumentation
4. Advanced Acceleration
5. Beam Therapy

Visit the pages describing these three directions to get detailed information.

Particle Accelerators Worldwide

A map of particle accelerators worldwide. It is estimated that there are 40,000+ accelerators^[1] in use worldwide today! This map is an ongoing project to compile a list of accelerators worldwide, showcasing their uses as research accelerators, medical accelerators and accelerators for industry.
