Particle Accelerator Physics Laboratory

The Physical Laboratory of Particular Accelerators (LPAP) at EPFL is engaged in cutting-edge research projects at major accelerator facilities such as the Paul Scherrer Institute (PSI) and CERN. LPAP focuses on the development of novel bright synchrotron light sources, high intensity proton beams for neutron scattering, and bright muon beams. Additionally, LPAP is involved in research and development towards future upgrades of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) and the electron-positron linear collider project CLIC. The laboratory also contributes to accelerator applications for life sciences, including hadron therapy of tumors and coherent sources of X-rays for imaging.
