Countdown to Edwards50

Purpose

2021 marks half a century of discovery at the Edwards Accelerator Laboratory (EAL), with first design-voltage operations in 1971. Since its inception, the EAL has made major scientific contributions to nuclear structure, astrophysics, applications, and instrumentation, as well as to material sciences and engineering. For the past 30 years, EAL research has been bolstered by the collaborative environment fostered within the Institute of Nuclear and Particle Physics (INPP). Join past and present EAL and INPP researchers September 24-25 2021 on the campus of Ohio University to celebrate 50 years of discovery at the Edwards Accelerator Laboratory!
