The Laboratory of Accelerators and Radiation Technologies (LATR) is responsible for providing advanced services in the areas of application of particle accelerators and radiation technologies. It is one of the three Technological Development Laboratories (LDT) existing in the Loures Pole of the Instituto Superior Técnico (IST).
Although it cannot be regarded as a research unit for the purpose of submission of scientific research projects, it may provide non-academic training actions in its areas of competence.
The equipment it holds is primarily intended for the fulfillment of missions assigned to IST in the areas of competence of LDT, and can be used by the scientific community of IST and by members external to IST, in accordance with the defined rules of access and use.
LATR integrates the following activity units:
- Accelerators Unit (ion beam technologies);
- Radiosterilization Unit (radiation technologies);
- Nuclear Instrumentation Unit (nuclear technologies and methods).
