The Accelerator Facilities at the Paul Scherrer Institute PSI

By Werner Joho

The Paul Scherrer Institute in Villigen Switzerland is the largest Research Institute in Switzerland. It has four worldclass accelerators: two Proton Cyclotrons and two Electron Accelerators. They produce beams of neutrons, pions, muons and X-rays. These are used in Materials Sciences, Energy Research and Medical Applications. A special cyclotron is dedicated to irradiate tumours with protons. Over the last 22 years more than 8'000 cancer patients have been treated this way.
