Magnetics and Radiation Sources (MaRS)
What We Do
- Magnet Design & Beam Control
We engineer cutting-edge magnet technologies that deliver precise beam control while reducing energy consumption—making future accelerators more efficient and sustainable.
- Next-Generation Light Sources
Our team develops Free Electron Lasers (FELs) and other radiation sources, enabling ultra-bright, ultra-fast photon pulses for breakthroughs in physics, chemistry, and life sciences.
- Software Development & Machine Learning
We create sophisticated simulation tools and control systems, leveraging machine learning to optimize accelerator performance, predict system behaviour, and accelerate design cycles.
- Magnet Test Laboratory
Our dedicated Magnet Test Lab provides state-of-the-art facilities for precision measurement and validation of magnet systems, ensuring reliability and performance before deployment.
Global Collaboration
We partner with leading research facilities like CERN and Diamond Light Source, and collaborate with universities to pioneer FEL lasing schemes and advanced computational techniques.
Innovation Testbed
The CLARA FEL Test Facility is our proving ground for new ideas—where hardware, software, and AI-driven solutions are tested and refined before deployment
