The Paul Scherrer Institute, PSI, is the largest research centre for natural and engineering sciences within Switzerland. Centered around the so-called large-scale facilities (muon, neutron, photons) the research activities concentrate on three main subject areas: Structure of Matter, Energy and Environment, and Health. After a short review of the history of PSI, I shall, for each topic, present a few recent research highlights accompanied with examples of industrial applications resulting from fundamental research projects: new X-ray imaging techniques, proton therapy devices or new materials for fuel cell applications. Finally, the future free-electron laser facility SwissFEL planned at PSI will be presented.
Une verrée en compagnie du conférencier sera offerte après le colloque.
Organisateur : Prof. Markus Büttiker
