View profile

The capabilities of the Heavy Ion Accelerators (HIA) network are unique in Australia and rare in the world. Our $150M facilities for high-energy ion beam research represent decades of strategic investment in the national interest by the Australian National University, the University of Melbourne, our industry partners and the Australian Government. Since 2009, HIA has been funded under the Australian Government’s National Collaborative Research Infrastructure Strategy (NCRIS) to support high-quality research driving greater innovation in the Australian research sector and the broader economy.

HIA enables researchers to build our fundamental understanding of nuclear physics, develop novel cancer therapies, perform fundamental studies of ion-solid interactions and materials science to device fabrication and prototyping of novel devices, support quantum technology, monitor and protect the environment, and provide testing capabilities to emulate space radiation to support applications in the space industry and the life sciences.
