Accelerators in Russia
 Traditionally accelerator science and technology have
strong position in Russia
 Glorious names: Veksler, Budker, Kolomensky, Skrinsky,
Sarantsev, …
 Achievements: RF acceleration stability, colliding beams,
electron cooling, RFQ principle, linear colliders, muon
colliders, …
 Proton and ion accelerators: JINR, IHEP, ITEP,… Electron
accelerators: BINP, NIIEFA, …
 There are technologies and experience in Russian scientific
organization to develop and produce of any kind of
accelerator
Example: Budker Institute of Nuclear Physics
 Positron/electron colliders
 Positron/electron injection facilities for HEP
Basic research
 Proton accelerators for electron cooling experiments
 Powerful accelerators for plasma heating
 Synchrotron radiation and FEL
 Industrial electron accelerators
Applied research
 Accelerators for medical application
 Accelerator mass spectrometer
 Neutron generators
Total staff of BINP is ~2700:
 Electron/ion sources
 Scientists ~ 500
 Workshop personnel ~ 1000
 Engineers ~ 400
 Administration ~ 200
 Laboratory technicians ~ 400
 Support personnel ~ 200

What do we need to develop radiation
technologies in Russia?
 Integration of specialists in acc and rad technologies.
RadTech Association is very positive! This workshop is very
positive! (Thanks to organizers)
 Accelerator science and technology in Russia are more
advanced than radiation technology (chemistry, biology,
semiconductors, etc.). We need educate radiation
technology specialists.
 Integration of all Russian structures (collaboration, not
competition!). RAS Accelerator Council should be definitely
incorporated in this activity.
 We need a network of multipurpose industrial accelerator
centers to develop new radiation technologies and to
educate relevant specialists.
Summary
Russia has a strong potential for development of
accelerators and radiation technologies
 Arrangement on a governmental level is necessary
(financial supports, legal issues, coordination, etc.)
 Collaboration of all Russian organizations active in
this field is necessary (Role of Association).
 Special education program for radiation industry (Sk
University?).
 International collaboration with foreign scientific
centers and companies is desirable.
