Open Day at the Heavy Ion Accelerator Facility

The capabilities of the Heavy Ion Accelerators (HIA) network are unique in Australia and rare in the world. HIA enables researchers to build our fundamental understanding of nuclear physics, develop novel cancer therapies, perform fundamental studies of ion-solid interactions and materials science to device fabrication and prototyping of novel devices, support quantum technology, monitor and protect the environment, and provide testing capabilities to emulate space radiation to support applications in the space industry and the life sciences.

Heavy Ion Accelerators

Celebrate National Science Week, 'Innovation: Powering Future Industries', with a day at the Heavy Ion Accelerator Facility!

Department of Nuclear Physics

In a day jam-packed with inquiry and all-inclusive fun, this is a chance to get to know the facility and its users inside out. Featured activities include tours of HIAF and the Implanter Laboratories, and scientific demonstrations on natural radioactivity, liquid nitrogen ice cream, a Van de Graff generator and vacuum systems, and more! Facility Group Tours will run every half an hour from 10.15 amScience Demonstration Circuit will run 30 minutes past hour from 10.30 am.Refreshments will be available.
