RESEARCH
PUSHING THE ENVELOPE WITH SOLUTIONS THAT WORK
For more than a decade, RadiaBeam has partnered with international research centers, major universities, and government agencies (such as the U.S. DOE, DARPA, NIH and DHS) to solve challenging problems around particle acceleration and related technologies from photonics to quantum computing to AI/ML. Going far beyond “paper research”, our inter-disciplinary team is passionate about opening new frontiers with solutions that work in the real world.
A leading influencer in accelerator science
RadiaBeam is recognized worldwide as a trailblazer at the cutting edge of applied accelerator science, crossing over between research and commercial spheres. For example, the advanced accelerating structures we worked on with SLAC push the performance envelope of RF structures towards higher gradients. These breakthroughs overcome design limitations and set the stage for our ultra-compact light sources for medical and security applications.

Manufacturing innovation: 3-D printing
RadiaBeam’s manufacturing innovations enable the integration of groundbreaking ideas into prototypes and solutions that work in the real world. For example, efficient structure cooling has been a key obstacle to the design of next generation accelerator systems, whether for linear colliders, x-ray free-electron lasers (FELs) or homeland security inspection systems. Our Additive Manufacturing (“3-D” printing) fabrication capability makes it possible to build-in more complex cooling channels in metal components, one layer at a time, and opens up the design space like never before.
Collaborate with us
We invite R&D partners to collaborate with us in exploring the possibilities to achieve, for example:
- Integration of multiple materials such as copper, stainless and niobium in “printed” parts to pre-tailor materials properties
- New levels of stability and control at higher power without adding cost
- Prototype photoinjector guns and RF structures that leapfrog today’s limitations
