Accelerators in India Present Status and Future perspective Amit Roy Inter-University Accelerator Centre New Delhi Amit Roy Accelerator development in India Early period: 37” Cyclotron 1940, SINP(INP) 1 MV Cascade Generator 1950, TIFR 5.5 MV Van de Graaff 1963, BARC 2 MV Van de Graaff 1968, IIT. Kanpur Indigenous Development: 224 cm Variable Energy Cyclotron 1977, VECC Present Phase: 14 UD Pelletron 1989, TIFR-BARC 15 UD Pelletron 1991, IUAC(NSC) Indigenous Development: Superconducting Linac Booster 2002, TIFR-BARC 2004, IUAC Electron Synchrotron, Indus -I & II 1999 & 2005, RRCAT(CAT) Superconducting Cyclotron 2009, VECC Several other small machines. Amit Roy International Collaborations: Large Hadron Collider, CERN Project X, Fermilab Facility for Ions and Antiprotons, GSI TESLA collaboration for SRF Development Amit Roy Major Future Projects: Radioactive Ion Beam, VECC Indian Spallation Neutron Source, RRCAT Accelerator Driven Subcritical System, BARC Free Electron Lasers, RRCAT, IUAC Amit Roy Cryogenics & Accelerators Both Linear & Cyclic Accelerators Require Highest Electric Fields , Generated by Superconducting Cavity Resonators. Require High Magnetic Fields to confine high energy particles, Superconducting Magnets generate high B fields. Amit Roy Present Scenario.....
