Barcelona, capital of particle accelerators science and technology
Barcelona, capital of particle accelerators science and technology
Last week, the ALBA Synchrotron hosted two congresses that made Barcelona the world capital of particle accelerators science and technology for a few days: the fifth edition of IBIC (International Beam Instrumentation Conference) and the ninth edition of MEDSI (Mechanical Engineering Design of Synchrotron Radiation Equipment and Instrumentation).
More than 500 researchers and engineers participated, coming from all over the world, including the large international facilities, such as CERN (Switzerland), J-PARC (Japan Proton Accelerator Research Complex) or Argonne National Laboratory (USA), among many others.
The industrial participation at both events is very high, counting with the presence of more than 60 industrial exhibitors from companies specialised in scientific equipment and cutting-edge technology in areas such as cryogenics, vacuum, etc.
