Members of the Mind Blowing Physics class at the Bates Lab
One aspect of Bates is a Research and Engineering Center , funded by a grant from the US Department of Energy Office of Nuclear Physics to provide support for the experimental programs of faculty within LNS. The personnel and equipment at Bates are ideally suited for a range of services from preconceptual design and development work to construction of large detector and spectrometer systems. R&E Center projects include:
Another aspect of the Bates Center is research and development projects and construction work for other laboratories on a contract basis, utilizing expertise developed on similar systems at Bates. Examples include:
A third focus for Bates is providing the site and technical support for novel applications of small accelerators, in collaboration with MIT faculty and outside companies. Such applications include:
Finally, the Bates accelerator facility consists of a polarized electron source, 500 MeV electron accelerator and recirculator, and storage ring. The staff includes experienced accelerator and polarized source physicists. This combination of equipment and expertise has led to the development of several proposals to use the storage ring for accelerator physics developments:
