Abstract

Daresbury Laboratory has now been in existence for over 20 years. Early high energy physics work utilized electron and photon beams from the 5 GeV electron synchrotron NINA and use was made of the synchrotron radiation emitted by the circulating electron beam for a range of studies. Following the closure of NINA, activities at the Laboratory centred on a 2 GeV electron storage ring used as a dedicated synchrotron radiation source and a 20 MV tandem Van de Graaff accelerator which provides a wide range of accelerated ions for nuclear structure studies. Both machines have been in regular and effective use for several years and have established international reputations in their respective fields.
