Take a look at world’s first low-energy high-intensity heavy-ion accelerator facility
(241211) -- LANZHOU, Dec. 11, 2024 (Xinhua) -- Zhao Hongwei, an academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS), poses for a photo in front of the low-energy high-intensity heavy-ion accelerator facility (LEAF) on Dec. 10, 2024. The world's first stand-alone low-energy high-intensity heavy-ion accelerator facility (LEAF), developed by the Institute of Modern Physics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, recently passed the expert panel acceptance inspection organized by the National Natural Science Foundation of China. The LEAF can provide intense heavy-ion beams and mixed ion beams of various charge states from light to heavy elements, offering advantages such as high beam intensity, high charge state, diverse ion species, and a wide range of energy variations. With the upgrading of ion accelerators and the evolution of accelerator technologies, frontier research in ion beam physics has continuously deepened human understanding of the world, and related application technologies have been widely adopted in various fields.
