The Accelerator Research and Development Laboratory (LEDA) brings together SACM expertise and skills in the research, construction, and testing of systems used to produce, transport, and accelerate charged particle beams.
LEDA is a team of 14 engineers, 7 technicians and 2 doctorate students as at December 31, 2009, organized as follows:
- a team of experts in beam modeling applied to linear and circular accelerators, in the presence of collective effects such as space charge or wake fields, and in electromagnetic calculations applied to electrostatic, magnetostatic and electromagnetic systems;
- an experimenter team specialized in R&D, setting up and operating sources and injectors;
- a team of experts for measuring beam parameters involving the design and implementation of innovative diagnostic techniques;
- a vacuum and ultra-high vacuum laboratory, equipped for heat treatment and desorption measurement in materials;
- a technical team experienced in accelerator installation, mechanical assembly and cooling.
The latest events of note include the start of construction work on the Spiral 2 deuteron accelerator, currently in the construction phase, the commissioning of the Califes electron injector for the CLIC Test Facility 3 program at CERN, outlets for software applications developed by the laboratory, and the successful brazing of segment 6 of the radiofrequency quadrupole for the IPHI high-intensity proton injector.
Looking to the future, LEDA is committed to building accelerators for nuclear energy (IFMIF), conducting research in nuclear physics (FAIR), and exploring the basic theory and techniques of new-generation particle accelerators, such as electron-positron linear colliders, neutrino factories, and spallation neutron sources
