University Accelerator Programs

No current accelerator found; the department's research-area list contains no accelerator, ion-beam, or beam-physics group. [1]

Historic accelerators uncertain-to-defunct: a 1998 university-magazine article describes two particle accelerators in the Underground Physics Research Laboratory; no evidence of any BYU accelerator after 1998, and a 2007 feature on the same lab lists none.

none found — no course mentioning accelerators, particle beams, or beam physics in the full course-description list [1]

No formal tie found — the internship page lists general external programs students apply to individually (DOE SULI, Fermilab, NIST, NASA, LANL, Argonne), none described as a partnership. [1]

Historically tier 2: a 6 MeV L-band photocathode linac and THz FEL at the Advanced Beam Laboratory (accelerator donated by the University of Twente, 2013). Current operational status unverifiable. [1]

Cautionary example: a program page that outlived its program. Whether the linac still physically operates is unknown — only the staleness of its pages is verified. See When programs end.

Defunct or stale: the lab's courses page is frozen at © 2013 and lists five accelerator courses by title only; the current ECE catalog contains no particle-accelerator courses at all. [1][2]

none verifiable currently

CESR, a 768 m electron storage ring under campus, operating as the CHESS X-ray source and an accelerator test bed; roughly 60 undergraduates a year do CHESS lab research. No page proving students physically operate CESR. [1]

CLASSE's own claims, reported as its own: “the only U.S. university still operating a large accelerator complex,” graduating about 20% of US accelerator-science PhDs — CLASSE's description and denominators, not this directory's. The older PHYS 4456 course is no longer in the catalog; cite 4688/7688.

PHYS 4688 / PHYS 7688 Topics in Accelerator Physics, in the live 2026–27 catalog and offered Spring 2026. [1][2]

Partner in the DOE-HEP Ernest Courant traineeship with Stony Brook and Fermilab; built the CBETA energy-recovery linac with Brookhaven. [1][2]

TUNL on Duke's West Campus: FN tandem Van de Graaff (10 MV maximum), LENA (240 keV ECR source plus 2 MV Singletron), and HIGS, a Compton-backscatter gamma source driven by a storage-ring FEL (1–100 MeV polarized gammas). Access via research groups and REU; no page proving routine student operation. [1][2]

The TUNL REU is not running in 2026; it received a new award and is a go for Summer 2027. The consortium is now four universities — Duke, North Carolina Central, NC State, UNC-Chapel Hill.

none found — no accelerator, beam, or FEL courses on the Duke physics course list; TUNL lists accelerator physics as a named research area [1][2]

TUNL is itself a DOE Center of Excellence operated by the four-university consortium. [1]

9 MV Super-FN tandem Van de Graaff plus 8 MV superconducting linac booster on campus at the Fox Laboratory — one of the few labs that allows graduate students to get hands-on experience in building, maintaining and using these technologies (university magazine, January 2026). Hands-on language is strongest for graduate students; undergraduate involvement is research participation. [1][2][3]

The registrar bulletin says 9.5 MV where the lab's own page says 9 MV; the lab page is treated as authoritative.

none found — no accelerator or beam course in the graduate physics bulletin [1]

CENTAUR member (DOE/NNSA Stewardship Science Academic Alliances Center of Excellence, with workforce-pipeline language toward LANL and LLNL; CENTAUR 2 grant runs 2024–2028); ARUNA member. [1][2]

Student-built cyclotron (no energy stated on live pages): students have built and are building the cyclotron as part of the PHYS 171, 371–374 Project Lab sequence. Caveat: the pages document hands-on construction; whether the cyclotron is commissioned and operating is not stated. [1]

Cyclotron energy and specs are not published on any live Houghton page; the university's pages block generic crawlers.

PHYS 371 Physics Project Lab and the 171/371–374 sequence in which the cyclotron is built — accelerator-lab coursework, no accelerator-physics lecture course (program pages, not a catalog). [1][2]

None formal found; the major page mentions student research at the University of Rochester Laboratory for Laser Energetics — customary. [1]

Idaho Accelerator Center: a 25 MeV electron linac, two 40 MeV electron linacs, a short-pulse linac in development, an X-ray tomography lab and a portable radiography accelerator. Physics-department page: students are involved in all aspects of the center, from operating electron accelerators to performing experiments. $4M federal funding secured January 2026 for upgrades. [1][2][3]

The widely circulated inventory (eight linacs, Van de Graaff, tandem Pelletron) is stale, from an old IAEA abstract; the current inventory is the linacs on the live IAC pages. The students-operate statement is on a physics-department page; the IAC's own facility pages describe professional scheduling channels.

PHYS 4430 Accelerator Physics (undergraduate); PHYS 6631 Accelerator Technology (graduate); PHYS 6632 Particle Beam Laboratory (repeatable). [1][2][3]

Idaho National Laboratory — the vehicle changed: the CAES consortium is superseded by the ISU–INL SUPER agreement; the physics department names INL as a principal employer of graduates. [1][2]

No on-campus accelerator verified; CAPP works at Fermilab and Argonne. [1]

The CAPP homepage itself is dated (it references the defunct ICAR consortium); the CAST page, last updated February 2024, is the current artifact.

PHYS 540 Computational Accelerator Physics in the live bulletin; CAST students completing the required courses earn a certificate in accelerator science and engineering with one of four specializations. [1][2]

CAST, the IIT-led $1.9M DOE Chicagoland Accelerator Science Traineeship, with NIU, Fermilab and Argonne. [1]

The flagship IUCF machines are gone (see notes). Residual access only: CEEM remains active and operates LENS, an accelerator-driven pulsed neutron source, and NREF — group access, with no accelerator-physics training program. [1][2]

Cautionary example. The cyclotron's user-facility era ended in 2010, and per IU's own history page, "The cyclotron delivered the last beam on December 5, 2014"; the facility was repurposed for proton therapy and an injector-magnet sector is displayed outside the building as a permanent tribute.

none found (accelerator-specific). Context: the USPAS master's degree is granted through Indiana University.

none current

FRIB, the DOE-SC nuclear-physics user facility, is on the MSU campus (1,073 users in FY2025). No page proving routine student operation of FRIB was found. [1]

The US flagship case: degrees, certificate, traineeship, and the machine on one campus. Registrar and FRIB pages block automated clients; the program details were confirmed via search snapshots and an archive snapshot of the Fermilab mirror.

PHY 862 Accelerator Systems (taught at FRIB) and PHY 861 Beam Physics, plus concentration courses PHY 961–964 and the ASE certificate. PHY 862 is required for all ASET trainees. (Registrar pages block automated clients; program details confirmed via search snapshots and an archive snapshot — see notes.) [1][2]

MSU hosts and operates FRIB for DOE-SC; the DOE-funded ASET traineeship places MS and PhD students at FRIB, DOE national labs, or industry, with USPAS classes creditable. [1]

On-campus machines via research groups: DANTE, a 1.5 MV tandem electrostatic accelerator, plus a DT neutron generator at the CSTAR Vault Laboratory, and the CLASS 1.7 MV tandem for ion-beam analysis and radiation-damage work. No fetched page shows routine student operation. [1][2]

Bates is defunct as an accelerator facility — its own FAQ: the original linear accelerator is not in use; shutdown year not verified on a fetched page. The status of the HVRL 3 MeV Van de Graaff is unknown.

8.277 Introduction to Particle Accelerators (linacs, synchrotrons, storage rings, FELs, colliders) — offered irregularly. [1]

Formal but internal: MIT owns and operates the Bates Research and Engineering Center, part of the Laboratory for Nuclear Science, including a group of accelerator physicists designing new accelerators. DOE-lab ties (JLab, BNL, Fermilab) are collaborative, not a named traineeship. [1][2]

No campus accelerator (its PULSTAR facility is a reactor, out of scope); access via TUNL consortium membership at Duke. [1][2]

none found that qualifies — PY 506 mentions accelerators only within a general nuclear survey; nothing in the NE course descriptions [1][2]

TUNL consortium member (DOE Center of Excellence). [1]

No on-campus accelerator; NICADD research is carried out at Fermilab and Argonne. [1]

Beam Physics is a named PhD research area; the CAST traineeship prescribes in-depth accelerator coursework leading to a certificate. Specific course numbers unverified (the catalog blocks automated queries). [1][2]

Formal twice over: the Joint University–Fermilab Doctoral Program in Accelerator Physics and Technology (est. 1985, 53 PhDs; Fermilab provides project and supervisors), and the CAST traineeship with IIT, Fermilab and Argonne. [1][2]

4.5 MV tandem accelerator with Pelletron charging at the Edwards Accelerator Laboratory, with a 30 m neutron time-of-flight tunnel. Student access verbatim: physics and astronomy majors use the accelerator in the required advanced undergraduate laboratory course and can work in the laboratory, including summer research and honors thesis research. [1][2]

The listed JINA affiliation may be stale.

The required advanced undergraduate laboratory course uses the accelerator; the course number could not be located on a live catalog page (JS-gated catalog). No dedicated accelerator-physics lecture course found. [1]

ARUNA membership and funding from DOE-SC, NNSA, LLNL, NSF and DTRA — funding ties documented; no joint-appointment or resident-PhD arrangement found. [1]

No on-campus beam accelerator verified; the Center for Accelerator Science cites facilities at ODU and Jefferson Lab (SRF and test infrastructure) without naming an on-campus accelerator. [1]

The deepest named-course list in the US set, all in the live catalog: PHYS 417/517, 460, 754/854, 755/855, 759/859, 765/865, 796/896 — from introductory accelerator physics through design and operating principles. [1]

Center for Accelerator Science founded in partnership with Jefferson Lab, with JLab personnel and funding; the VITA DOE traineeship with JLab; an ODU/JLab NSF REU in accelerator physics. [1][2][3]

L-band electron linac at the Gaerttner LINAC Center (100 MeV design maximum; published nuclear-data work describes roughly 60 MeV pulsed operation), on campus and actively operating: undergraduate and graduate students work at the facility daily, 170+ PhD theses, hands-on experience for undergraduates through coursework and design projects, and a recent $9.44M DOE accelerator-upgrade grant. Caveat: hands-on experience is the strongest verbatim claim; no fetched page states undergraduates sit at the linac controls. [1][2]

100 MeV is the machine-class design maximum; the roughly 60 MeV pulsed operation in nuclear-data papers is the demonstrated operating point on record. No fetched page pairs the two figures, so they are labeled rather than reconciled.

MANE 4430 Linear Accelerator Laboratory (Spring annually; real-world neutron experiments at the Gaerttner linac) — an accelerator-lab course, not beam-dynamics theory. [1]

No formal named national-lab pipeline verified; a DOE funding tie exists (the accelerator-upgrade grant). A Naval Nuclear Laboratory nuclear-data collaboration appears in publications but was seen only in search summaries. [1]

12-inch cyclotron, 1 MeV protons; a listed research-project option in the current advanced-lab course, and students have contributed to the cyclotron's operation and improvement since 2001 (the project site counts nineteen undergraduates through 2015). Caveat: the machine's current operational status is unproven — the project site is web-rotted and its narrative ends around 2012. [1][2]

Status note: the cyclotron site's HTTPS serves a parked page and the real content loads only over plain HTTP; the student roster ends in 2015. The course page is live, but no dated recent evidence of operation was found.

01:750:387 Experimental Modern Physics (required for BS majors; the cyclotron project runs inside the 387/388/389 lab sequence). No dedicated accelerator-physics lecture course found. [1]

None formal found. Customary only: a 2015 paper claims about a quarter of the cyclotron-lab students continued into accelerator physics. [1]

No campus accelerator — the machines, including the Accelerator Test Facility, are at Brookhaven, about 30 km away (see pipeline). The measurements-lab course implies hands-on work but does not establish an on-campus machine. [1]

The largest named-course catalog in the US set, via CASE: PHY 554, 542 (with simulations and measurements lab), 543 RF superconductivity, 564 advanced accelerator physics, 689, 691 computational, 693 high-power RF, 694 plasma and wakefield, 695 cryogenics. [1]

CASE is a joint Stony Brook–Brookhaven center (BNL staff teach the courses); the Ernest Courant traineeship in accelerator science and engineering (DOE HEP, $2.9M over 5 years, with Cornell and Fermilab). [1]

K500 superconducting cyclotron and K150 cyclotron on campus at the Cyclotron Institute, plus ECR ion sources; about 100 institute members including graduate and undergraduate students. Access via research groups and the NSF REU (supervised projects — the page does not state students operate the cyclotrons). [1][2]

K500/K150 beam energies are not stated on the fetched pages.

none found — no accelerator-physics course in the graduate PHYS catalog; NUEN mentions accelerators only inside a radiation-safety course [1][2]

CENTAUR 2 (DOE/NNSA Stewardship Science Academic Alliances, 2024–2028) is headquartered at the Cyclotron Institute, with partner national labs LLNL and LANL and seven partner universities; the institute also lists the HIPPO and TREND student programs. [1][2]

Particle Beam Physics Laboratory accelerators (PEGASUS, MOTHRA, MITHRA) on campus. The students page describes practical training in the laboratories, where students confront the experimental hardware — high-power microwave sources, resonant cavities, picosecond lasers, vacuum systems, magnetic beam optics, undulators, ultra-fast diagnostics — naming graduate and undergraduate students (Physics 199 independent study). [1]

Parts of the PBPL site are stale (a 2004 USPAS reference on the students page); the lab is demonstrably active.

Physics 150 Physics of Charged Particle and Laser Beams (undergraduate) and the Physics 250 graduate beam-physics series, roughly yearly with rotating topics from introductory accelerator physics to plasma accelerators (program page, not a live catalog). [1]

Collaborative rather than formal joint appointments: SLAC FACET-II, BNL ATF, Fermilab, LANL, Argonne, INFN; member of the NSF Center for Bright Beams. [1]

NEC 3SDH tandem Pelletron, terminal up to 1.1 MV (protons to 2.2 MeV), on campus in the Ion-Beam Analysis Laboratory. Students in Physics 300 work directly with the accelerator; introductory students may also get the opportunity to use it; summer research students work on it. [1][2][3]

The ion-beam-lab page shows currency indicators only to 2020 and calls the machine over 30 years old; continued operation as of 2026 is inferred from the current department site, not from a post-2020 dated statement.

none found (theory); the closest is PHY 300 Methods of Modern Experimental Physics, an instrumentation course that uses the Pelletron directly (program page, not a catalog) [1]

none found — no formal national-lab tie on any fetched page

The 88-Inch Cyclotron at LBNL, adjacent to campus (K=140, protons to 60 MeV, heavy ions through uranium), is staff-operated by a dedicated team; graduate students appear as researchers, not operators. [1][2]

The NE 282 accelerator course appears dormant: its page returns 404 and the newest associated material found is 2007-era.

The NE undergraduate major lists a Beam and Accelerator Applications elective cluster, but its constituent courses are not themselves accelerator-physics courses; no live dedicated accelerator-physics course confirmed. [1]

LBNL: hundreds of joint appointments; UC postdocs, graduate students and undergraduates conduct research at the lab, and the 88-Inch explicitly supports UC Berkeley research programs. [1][2]

76-inch isochronous cyclotron on campus at Crocker Nuclear Laboratory, variable energy to 67.5 MeV protons, 7 beam lines; current uses include ocular-melanoma therapy and radiation-effects testing. Students run experiments, but no fetched page shows students operating the cyclotron — staff-operated. [1][2]

The lab's own pages block automated fetch (HTTP 403); machine facts rest on the group's IPAC2023 paper and February 2025 press coverage.

none found — no accelerator or beam course in the PHY catalog [1]

Member of the NNSA-funded Nuclear Science and Security Consortium (lead UC Berkeley; partners include LBNL, LANL, Sandia, ORNL); the Crocker cross-section program is DOE/NNSA-funded through it. [1]

No accelerator on campus; the machines are at Argonne and Fermilab. [1]

PHYS 41000 Accelerator Physics (history through beam dynamics, with several hands-on laboratory sessions) and PHYS 40700 X-ray Lasers and Applications, both in the live graduate catalog. [1]

A number of Argonne and Fermilab scientists hold joint appointments with the physics department, where they teach graduate courses and mentor students. [1][2]

7 MV single-ended CN Van de Graaff producing monoenergetic fast neutrons; active per the 2026 summer REU page, whose projects involve running experiments at the lab with hands-on detector and DAQ work. Tier 2 rather than tier 1: the fetched pages show undergraduates running experiments and supporting work, not operation of the Van de Graaff itself. [1][2][3]

The often-quoted 5.5 MV figure is stale for the current machine; the current spec is a 7 MV CN. The lab's own site is sparse and undated; liveness is better evidenced by the 2026 REU page.

none found — no accelerator, beam, or nuclear-lab courses in the PHY listings for Fall 2026 [1]

No formal tie verified — ORNL works closely with Kentucky faculty and students but names no joint appointments or traineeships; reads geographic. ARUNA member. [1][2]

Significant currency doubts. Research-group pages (last post May 2021) place a 12-inch cyclotron at UMD since 2016 as the centerpiece of a capstone design class, and list campus radiation facilities (electron linac, TRIGA reactor, Co-60 irradiator). But UMD's live Spring and Fall 2026 schedules of classes contain zero cyclotron sections — the capstone class could not be shown to be currently offered. [1][2][3]

UMER, the 10 keV electron ring, appears defunct as a web presence (site dead on both probes, no closure statement found); the research-group site itself is stale (2021).

none found in the current graduate catalog — no accelerator or beam courses in PHYS, ENPM or ENEE [1]

none formal verified on live pages

No UNC-campus accelerator identified in this check; hands-on access via TUNL consortium membership, with the facilities on Duke's West Campus. [1][2]

The absence of any on-campus accelerator was not exhaustively verified.

none found — a search of the live PHYS catalog returned nothing for accelerators [1]

Founding member of the TUNL consortium (DOE Center of Excellence); the TUNL REU draws students to consortium faculty (paused for 2026, resuming 2027). [1][2]

Three on-campus accelerators at the Nuclear Science Laboratory: an FN tandem (10 MV maximum terminal), the 5 MV Sta. ANA single-ended Pelletron, and a 3 MV tandem for ion-beam analysis. Undergraduate involvement is research-based; documented operation was not found. [1][2]

Two live ISNAP pages disagree on the FN terminal voltage (10 vs 10.6 MV).

none found — the ISNAP courses page lists only a stale 2017 course and a computing course [1]

CENTAUR 2 partner university (DOE/NNSA center with LLNL and LANL); runs a fourth accelerator, CASPAR, a mile underground at the Sanford Underground Research Facility. ARUNA's hub. [1][2]

HVEC Model FN tandem Van de Graaff, terminal up to 8.8 MV, on campus at CENPA. Student operation explicit: the graduate students and undergraduate hourly employees are trained to operate and service the ion sources and the accelerator. The 2025 annual report shows beams delivered to PIONEER, LEGEND and Project 8 during 2025. [1][2]

Historic machines are gone: campus cyclotron 1948–1986, superconducting linac 1985–2000. The FN tandem is the survivor and is active.

none found — no accelerator or beam course in the UW physics catalog [1]

No formal named pipeline verified; strong collaborative ties (DOE Office of Nuclear Physics core grant; major roles in PIONEER, KATRIN, LEGEND, Project 8) — experiment collaborations, not joint appointments. [1]

Two current on-campus installations, both via research groups: the UW Cyclotron Lab (two cyclotrons, protons to 16 MeV) and the Ion Beam Laboratory (NEC 1.7 MV tandem Pelletron). No fetched page shows student operation of either machine. [1][2]

The Synchrotron Radiation Center shut down 7 March 2014 (its Aladdin ring had run since 1986). A planned 30 MeV cyclotron building (October 2025 funding news) is not yet operating.

N E 424 Nuclear Materials Laboratory (ion-beam accelerator component) and N E/ECE/PHYSICS 749 Coherent Generation and Particle Beams (beam sources and quality, accelerator concepts, FELs). [1]

Two named DOE program ties: the cyclotron group is a listed DOE Isotope Program accelerator facility, and the Ion Beam Laboratory is part of the DOE Nuclear Science User Facilities network. Facility and funding memberships, not personnel pipelines. [1][2]

Clinical linear accelerators at VUMC radiation oncology (including an IntraOp Mobetron IORT linac and Varian treatment systems), encountered through supervised clinical-physics training under credentialed staff. [1]

A clinical destination distinct from the rest of the table: supervised clinical-physics work under credentialed staff, not accelerator operation.

Two-year CAMPEP-accredited medical-physics program (radiotherapy and diagnostic tracks), accredited since 2003. Clinical-physics coursework, not machine design — which is the reason it is listed. [1][2]

None (a clinical medical-physics pipeline, not a national-lab one); the CAMPEP residency is also at VUMC. [1]

HVEC 6 MV model EN tandem Van de Graaff on campus, in continuous use for more than 50 years. Student use reaches sophomores: students in the third semester of the sophomore calculus-based sequence use the accelerator in three-hour collision experiments; upper-level undergraduates and graduate students use it in advanced lab courses and design their own research projects. [1]

The claimed JINA-CEE associated-institution status is possibly stale.

No named accelerator-physics course found; the accelerator is embedded in the sophomore lab sequence and advanced lab courses (program page, not a catalog; course numbers not stated there). [1]

No formal national-lab tie verified; usage-based collaborations with FRIB, Argonne, Brookhaven, RIKEN; ARUNA member. [1][2]

ASTRID2 synchrotron storage ring at ISA, the on-campus Danish national facility, operational (35 weeks of user beam to 6 beamlines in 2025); access via research. [1]

English-taught MSc/PhD is standard in Denmark, not separately verified.

none found (catalog blocked — absence not verified)

ISA is Aarhus's own university-operated national facility. [1]

No campus accelerator verified in this check. [1]

Cockcroft Institute member. [1][2]

RCNP Cyclotron Facility on campus: K140 AVF cyclotron plus K400 ring cyclotron, protons (including polarized) to 400 MeV, heavy ions to 100 MeV/u. Tier-1-adjacent: student experiments are performed and about 10% of beam time is reserved for undergraduate education, but student operation of the cyclotrons is not documented. [1][2]

English facility pages verified; the degree's language of instruction was not.

Named Accelerator Physics graduate specialization at the Suita campus, one of RCNP's four research and education areas. [1]

RCNP is Osaka's own national Joint Usage/Research Center; MuSIC muon facility at RCNP; research use of SPring-8 and J-PARC. [1]

none found

TRIUMF: founding member (1968 — the original TRI-University Meson Facility with UBC and UVic), current full member. [1]

S-DALINAC superconducting electron linac on campus (up to 130 MeV, running since 1991, thrice-recirculating since 2016). The institute's own pages: the S-DALINAC is primarily further developed by students within bachelor, master and doctoral theses, and student assistants supervise the helium refrigerator and beam times. Caveat: the pages document student development and beam-time supervision, not unsupervised operation. [1][2]

Institute pages are bilingual, German-first; the MSc Physik is primarily German-taught. The PhD and research environment is English-friendly.

DFG Research Training Group GRK 2128 AccelencE (with JGU Mainz): structured PhD training in energy-recovery-linac accelerator science combining S-DALINAC hands-on work with MESA design. No named MSc-level accelerator course verified in this check. [1]

TRIUMF: founding member (1968), full member of the 21-university consortium; the TRIUMF co-op hosts roughly 100 co-op students a year, including accelerator science. [1][2]

AGOR superconducting cyclotron (protons to 190 MeV, heavy ions to 90 MeV/u for oxygen) at PARTREC, embedded in the university medical center and used by the university for nuclear-physics research; access via research groups. [1]

Renamed and reorganized: KVI-CART's radiation-technology arm and AGOR operation were taken over by UMCG and continue as PARTREC (transfer dated 1 January 2020 in a conference-paper snippet, not verified on a live page). English-taught MSc is standard at RUG but was not separately verified.

none found

No campus accelerator verified. [1]

Cockcroft postgraduate lecture programme. [1]

Cockcroft Institute member. [1][2]

X-LAB, commissioned 2024 on the Parkville campus, houses half of CERN's XBOX3 high-gradient 12 GHz X-band test stand for CLIC structure testing. An accelerator-technology test facility (an RF test stand), no beamline; access via research group. [1][2]

none found — the handbook search shows no subject with accelerator in the title [1]

CERN (CLIC/X-band program) via the 2010 CERN–Australian Collaboration for Accelerator Science agreement and the XBOX3 re-homing. [1]

No accelerator on campus verified; John Adams Institute DPhil projects run at CERN (HL-LHC, CLIC, FCC, AWAKE), Diamond Light Source, ISIS, and the Central Laser Facility. [1]

JAI Graduate Lectures (accelerator physics from lattice design to RF and laser-plasma acceleration) plus a Graduate Design Project; JUAS access and joint advanced courses with the Cockcroft Institute. [1]

John Adams Institute host member; graduates apply to the JAI through Oxford, Royal Holloway, or Imperial College, and JAI students apply to the competitive CERN Doctoral Student Programme. [1][2]

The only Cockcroft member with a verified accelerator facility on its own campus.

Cockcroft postgraduate lecture programme. [1]

Cockcroft Institute member; SCAPA is a Scottish Universities Physics Alliance initiative. [1][2]

Research associated with the TRIUMF on-site accelerators, including SRF development, beam physics, and the ARIEL e-linac; access via the graduate program. [1]

The clearest named accelerator-physics graduate program of the three TRIUMF founding universities.

Named Accelerator Physics Graduate Program; core course PHYS 522 Topics in Accelerator Physics, run by the Accelerator Physics Division at TRIUMF and televised and recorded for students at UVic. [1]

TRIUMF: founding and full member; the program page describes the TRIUMF partnership explicitly. [1][2]

FREIA Laboratory on the Ångström campus: Sweden's only superconducting accelerator-technology platform (high-power RF sources, helium liquefier, 2 K cryostats). An accelerator-technology test facility, no beamline; access via research and degree projects. [1]

The Svedberg Laboratory (operated 1951–2016) is closed and being decommissioned, with completion scheduled for 2026 — not an active facility. Language of instruction for 1FA330 not stated on the fetched page.

1FA330 Accelerator Physics and Technology, 10 credits, master's level. [1]

ESS and MAX IV: FREIA develops and tests equipment for both (with contributions to CERN), and Uppsala co-finances MAX IV. [1][2]
