Division Spotlight
Accelerator Applications
The division was organized to promote the advancement of knowledge of the use of particle accelerator technologies for nuclear and other applications. It focuses on production of neutrons and other particles, utilization of these particles for scientific or industrial purposes, such as the production or destruction of radionuclides significant to energy, medicine, defense or other endeavors, as well as imaging and diagnostics.

Fermilab center renamed after late particle physicist Helen Edwards
Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory’s Integrated Engineering Research Center, which officially opened in January 2024, is now known as the Helen Edwards Engineering Center. The name was changed to honor the late particle physicist who led the design, construction, commissioning, and operation of the lab’s Tevatron accelerator and was part of the Water Resources Development Act signed by President Biden in December 2024, according to a Fermilab press release.

Supersonic Molecular Beam Injection (SMBI) experiments were performed at GAMMA 10 device under the collaboration with HELIOTRON Group of Kyoto University. In order to survey the effects of SMBI on the plasma behavior, we measured the plasma radiation by using the ultraviolet and visible (UV/V) spectroscopic system and study behavior of the neutral hydrogen and impurity ions emissions with using the collisional-radiative model (CR-model).With SMBI, the neutral hydrogen density calculated by the CR-model was about 20 times larger than that without SMBI. Impurity densities of oxygen ions also increased with SMBI.
