General information


Main Research Fields

Particle physics and astrophysics Nuclear and strong interactions physics Condensed matter physics Interdisciplinary and applied research Theoretical physics


Scientific groups from IFJ PAN contribute to major world experiments in particle, astroparticle and nuclear physics. New 235 MeV cyclotron (planned start 2013) will be used for experimental activities (nuclear physics, radiobiology) and proton therapy. Gantry will allow also for treating pediatric patients (2014). Biomedical research based on local infrastructure: eye protontherapy, VdG single proton irradiations, MRI Priorities for safely use of nuclear energy and for fusion projects (ITER, stellarator W7-X in Greifswald) Accredited labs specialized in nuclear techniques Specialized teams of engineers and technicians participating in construction of large research facilities for science in Europe

Poland in SNE-TP deployment

Nuclear cogeneration – main priority

○ need of industry

○ strong interest from researchers in HTR

○ political support

ALLEGRO

○ synergy with HTR (Helium cooling, …)

○ MoU on Polish participation under preparation

(observer status)

MYRRHA

○ some participation considered in reactor and

accelerator part


Nuclear research in Poland …

has long tradition …

… and bright future!
