About this event

  • 4 hours 30 minutes

Description

Get up to speed with the amazing technology and research at The Centre for Accelerator Science (CAS) at ANSTO. With four powerful accelerators, this world-class facility can accelerate ions from hydrogen to uranium at speeds up to 30,000kms a second. The interactions of these ions with a range of different samples allows for studies in accelerator mass spectrometry (AMS) and ion beam analysis (IBA) to be performed allowing for impactful applications in areas such as fine particle air pollution, microdosimetry of biological cells, and the irradiation of electron chips bound for space.
