THE RESEARCH

MedAustron-Research will provide research facilities with ion beams for the fields of medical radiation physics, radiation biology and experimental physics.

The nonclinical research supports medical goals through a wide range of research programs in the areas of radiation biology and medical radiation physics. Core topics are research areas aiming at a better understanding of biological and physical mechanisms of ions. Furthermore, the improvement and development of novel therapy concepts as well as of diagnostic, planning, positioning and therapy equipment is of great interest.

For the field of experimental physics, the accelerator system will provide an impulse for the development of accelerator physics in Austria. Interested researchers and participating institutions will, for the first time, be able to work on such research programs and young academics will be able to benefit from education and training with state-of-the-art technology. Co-operations can be initiated and exchange with the international scientific community can be enhanced.

Even the industry can access the state-of-the-art equipment for their research and development work.
