Laboratori Nazionali di Legnaro
The Laboratori Nazionali di Legnaro (LNL) are one of the four Italian research centers of the Istituto Nazionale di Fisica Nucleare (INFN). They are at the northern end of Legnaros near Padua , Italy . The main research areas include nuclear physics , particle physics and accelerator technology and their application. You have a budget of around 20 million euros per year with almost 120 permanent employees. On average, around 250 people work in the LNL a day, many of them from nearby universities or research institutions.
history
The laboratories were founded in 1960 by the University of Padua and initially had an electrostatic accelerator with a maximum voltage of 7 MV . Two more electrostatic accelerators were later purchased: AN 2000 (3 MV) and the XTU Tandem (16 MV). In the 1990s, a superconducting post accelerator ALPI was built as a tandem. After the post-accelerator went into operation, a new injector was built for the ALPI in order to use ions that cannot be accelerated with the tandem in the ALPI.
An accelerator for the generation of radioactive ion beams (SPES) is currently being built.
