VECC |
|
The Variable Energy Cyclotron Centre (VECC) was set up at
Kolkata, to provide full-fledged infrastructure for the development of
latest accelerators. The center provides research facilities in nuclear
physics and nuclear chemistry, and produces radioisotopes for various
applications. The Centre provides R & D support to various nuclear
science programmes in addition to its own programmes of building the
latest state of the art accelerator, developing technology and
producing critical components required for multi-disciplinary R & D
work. A wide spectrum of research and development in the areas of
engineering, material science, radiochemistry, nuclear medicine,
electronics, cybernetics, cryogenics, vaccum technology etc. carried
out at this center is a tool for global competition. VECC is leading a prestigious experimental collaboration
programme at the Super Proton Synchrotron (SPS) accelerator laboratory
of the European Nuclear Research Centre (CERN) in Geneva (Switzerland). |
