S. Vallières scores first at the Joint Universities Accelerator School

Simon Vallières, who participated in the 2018 Joint Universities Accelerator School (JUAS), one of the leading Particle acceleration Schools located nearby Geneva (CERN), obtained the highest marks in the Course “The Science of Particle Accelerators” at the final exam and scored first of the class. In recognition for his outstanding results, Simon has obtained a scholarship

NSERC funds our market study on “Laser-driven proton induced xray emission for enhanced cultural heritage preservation”

NSERC funded with 12031 $ our market study on using laser-accelerated protons in the field of Cultural Heritage, in order to explore potential markets for our invention liked to the recent published work in the Journal Nature Scientific Reports about Laser-Accelerated Proton Beams as Diagnostics for Cultural Heritage. This market study will allow contacting potentially interested

Nature Communication publishes our work on novel stress testing techniques

The Journal Nature Communications has published our recent work on laser-driven protons for stress testing materials used in harsh conditions. In this work we demonstrate that laser-generated particles, in particular protons, can be used for stress testing materials and are particularly suited for identifying materials to be used in harsh conditions. We show that these

S. Veltri obtains her Ph.D. with highest marks

The title of his thesis is “Nano Materials and Innovative Laser-Based Accelerators for  Cultural Heritage“. Congratulations ! Simona will stay in the group as Post-Doc.

iPAT-LAB on experimental campaign at the LULI Laser facility at Ecole Polytechnique (France)

After the proposal having been selected for obtaining beamtime, iPAT-LAB performed a successful experimental campaign at the LULI Laser facility located at the prestigous Ecole Polytechnique in France. The main topic of the experiment was the use of laser-driven protons for materials science and allowed iPAT-LAB to enjoy one month of challenging beamtime near the

Compute Canada awards iPAT-LAB with generous computational resources

Based on our application, the Research Groups 2017 competition for Compute Canada has awarded 298 core years and 45 TB of project storage on the Computational Research of Compute Canada to our group. This will allow us to perform even more computational work and simulations !
