Welcome to BeamNetUS
Discover our facilities across the U.S.
BeamNetUS provides access to beam test facilities. Our network includes facilities at Argonne National Laboratory, Brookhaven National Laboratory, Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory, Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory, and Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility.
These facilities have charged particle beams and infrastructure for accelerator component R&D. BeamNetUS enables access for exploratory tests with the aim to create new collaborations.
What is BeamNetUS?
BeamNetUS is a network of facilities united in a common mission to advance accelerator research and applications of accelerator technology through improving awareness and access to these unique facilities.
These facilities provide complementary capabilities enabling research in plasma physics, beam physics, material science, radiofrequency sources and structures, nuclear physics and electron beam irradiation.
