Speaker
Description
Variable Energy Cyclotron Centre (VECC) is a R&D unit of the Department of Atomic Energy, Government of India. This Centre is dedicated to carry out frontier research and development in the fields of Accelerator Science & Technology, Nuclear Science (Theoretical and Experimental), Material Science, Computer Science & Technology and in other relevant areas.
VECC has been delivering proton, alpha and heavy ion beams from K130 room temperature cyclotron for users. Recently beam has been extracted successfully from a K500 superconducting cyclotron for the first time. A 30 MeV medical cyclotron has been commissioned and started routine production and delivery of PET isotopes for patients to different hospitals. An ISOL post-accelerator type of RIB facility has been developed with the K130 cyclotron as the primary accelerator. Status of these accelerators and related interesting developments will be presented in this talk.
