Home > Expected Benefits Expected Benefits in local and international level
- Breaking into a new field by extending the use of the sole Greek accelerator from just nuclear physics to include also atomic collisions physics and related technologies using existing state-of-the-art equipment at an extremely low cost.
- Training of young researchers in new specialized atomic particle technologies such as highly charged ion sources, transport of ion beams, charged particle spectroscopies, detection and data acquisition and analysis systems.
- Participation in the international scientific community with new results obtained using state-of-the-art electron spectrometers
- Rallying together of locally (e.g. in Greece) existing scientists that have worked in the past in the field of accelerator-based atomic physics abroad and who are participating in this proposal
- Upgrading of the only existing accelerator facility into a user facility for university researchers and widening its scope of operation into new areas related to atomic physics.
- Allow for a more substantial and dynamic participation of Greek scientists in many of the new cutting edge European and world-wide science initiatives including research at:
- New storage rings such as FAIR,
SPARC and SPIRAL2,
- X-ray Free-electron laser facilities such as XFEL and LCLS,
- Fusion research such as ITER,
- The European Space Agency ESA
