The Role of Accelerators in Physical and Life Sciences

“It is an historical fact that scientific revolutions are more often driven by new tools than by new concepts” Freeman Dyson

Switzerland, host to world-leading accelerators

Development of future accelerator technologiesEmphasis: high field magnets Development of accelerator concepts beyond the existing technology for synchrotron light sources, medical and industrial applications
