Grant Program:
Linkage Infrastructure, Equipment and Facilities
Grant Activity:
Enhanced beam injection for Australia's Heavy Ion Accelerator Facility
Purpose:
This project aims to upgrade the beam injection for Australia’s Heavy Ion Accelerator Facility, by installing an electrostatic analyser and an ion source to produce negative helium beams. Fundamental questions on the origin of the elements and the quantum mechanics of nuclei will be studied, along with applications of accelerator science, which extend from measuring human impact on the environment to developing nuclear knowledge for medicine. Expected outcomes include improved isotope tracing in environmental applications, assessment of detectors for dark matter searches and exploring interstellar particle influx to the Earth. New research will be conducted into the quantum mechanics of nuclei and new astrophysics and medical applications. The project aims to enhance international scientific exchanges by attracting top scientists to a world-class Australian facility. It will provide unique training of skilled personnel in nuclear techniques for medicine, environmental monitoring and industry, and support Australia’s leading role in nuclear safety, security and non-proliferation.
