Accelerators, Cryogenics and Magnetism Division (DACM)
Research unit
The DACM, Accelerators, Cryogenics and Magnetism Division, is part of the Institute of Research into the Fundamental Laws of the Universe (Irfu) of the Matter Science Division of the CEA. DACM conducts advanced research and development in the field of particle accelerators, cryogenic systems and superconducting magnets for fundamental research (LHC, Spiral2, Fair...). It collaborates with many international academic and socio-economic partners. Its know-how enhances its knowledge in related fields such as energy, life sciences, and light sources (Sun and Xfel).
