摘要

In this paper we present some activities of the International Institute for Accelerator Applications (IIAA), hosted by University of Huddersfield, which is the UK's first institute aiming to bring together research in accelerator physics and engineering for the new societal demands. Topics, being studied at the Institute, include isotope production using low energy beams, production of fast neutron beams for neutron therapy, and development of novel proton and light ion accelerators for cancer therapy. In this area we are investigating the possible uses of the ns-FFAG machine, and led the team that built EMMA, the first prototype, which operated successfully in 2011.
