News & Scientific Highlights

No cutting-edge research without constant development, and no further development without actively engaged staff. HIPA has undergone several upgrades in the past 50 years, always expanding the range of scientific possibilities, and research into the further development of the facility itself is still ongoing. The team has grown accordingly.

Since 1974 HIPA has been accelerating protons for research.
