Schonland Research Centre for Nuclear Sciences

EN-Tandem van der Graaff Accelerator

The Schonland EN-Tandem van der Graaff Accelerator was inaugurated on 22.11.72. We are now 30 years old. The machine used to do Nuclear Physics only, but now we do Materials Science, Interdisciplinary Science, Particle Physics, Applied Physics and much more.
