About IUAC

Inter-University Accelerator Centre (IUAC) was set up by the University Grants Commission as the first Inter- University Centre (IUC) called Nuclear Science Centre after due approval of the Planning Commission and the Prime Minister in October 1984. In the quest for innovation & capacity building in the areas of accelerator- driven research, IUAC is India’s premier laboratory for university researchers. Our vision is to provide necessary powerful tools used by scientists to understand the mysteries of matter, energy, space, and time by looking at the processes that work at the bigger, smaller, and faster scales.

About the Workshop

Inter-University Accelerator Centre (IUAC), an autonomous institute of University Grants Commission under the Ministry of Human Resource & Development will host an online Workshop on the Application of THz Radiation & Electron Beam in the field of Materials, Security & Biological Science. A compact Free Electron Laser (FEL) accelerator in at the final commissioning stage at IUAC and the electron beam in the form stage at IUAC and the electron beam in the form of dark current has been already demonstrated. It is expected that the first signature of Thz radiation will be demonstrated soon. The objective of the workshop is to deliver an overview on the various kind of experiments that can be performed by using the intense Terahertz radiation and high quality electron beam from the FEL accelerator. The workshop will also provide a forum to discuss the necessary required experimental facilities being developed / to be developed at IUAC to utilise the THz radiation / electron beam and experimental proposals by users. The lectures will be from reputed Indian and foreign laboratories and institutes. This will provide an exposure to the students, the young faculty members and researchers of various institutes / universities who are working in similar advanced fields of experiments with e. m. radiation and electron beam.
