Research Infrastructure

Centro Nacional de Aceleradores

Description 4 joined accelerators, a scanner PET/CT for humans, a scanner PET/CT for animals and a Co-60 irradiator where many techniques, skills and equipment are common to these facilities. Own building with space to house equipment, laboratories, workers and researchers Own budget which allows flexibility for regular operation -Increase in experimental activity of Spanish research groups should increase demand for the use of CNA facilities European cooperation in large projects should allow finding activities in which ""small"" accelerators as CNA can contribute to European large scale facilities Increased activity in PET medical imaging is an opportunity for CNA, which can produce PET radionuclides, synthesize radio-pharmaceuticals and provide PET imaging equipment. It can be important to train highly qualified technicians in medical imaging. National collaborative programs, such as the CONSOLIDER-CPAN project on Particle, Astroparticle and Nuclear Physics, stress the importance of increasing the number of highly specialized technicians increasing the number of highly specialized technicians. CNA is an IAEA collaborator Centre CNA participates in European projects such as DITANET, LA3NET, and oPAC 3 joined accelerators where many techniques, skills and equipment are common to 3 accelerators Own building with space to house equipment, laboratories, workers and researchers Own budget which allows flexibility for regular operation -Increase in experimental activity of Spanish research groups should increase demand for the use of CNA facilities European cooperation in large projects should allow finding activities in which ""small"" accelerators as CNA can contribute to European large scale facilities Increased activity in PET medical imaging is an opportunity for CNA, which can produce PET radionuclides, synthesize radio-pharmaceuticals and provide PET imaging equipment.
