IUAC strives to maintain high standards of academic ethics. It is the responsibility of the users to ensure that he/she and his/her collaborators abide by the same. User agrees to abide by all safety regulations as per "Safety Manual for User at IUAC".

IUAC provides a unique opportunity for researchers to use various offlice facilities like RBS, Target Preparation Laboratory, Electrical Transport / Noise Measurements, Micro-Raman, Scanning Electron Microscopy, Transmission Electron Microscopy, Gamma Chamber, Geochronology HR-ICPMS to name a few. To avail these facilities one need to apply online. It will take minimum 30 days to allot requested facility, if selected.

Arrive at least a day in advance and stay for a few days after your experiment. A User presentation at the end of the experiment is to be made by the User. User Presentation should describe the objective, troubles encountered, suggestions for improvement, etc.

The Pelletron accelerator and laboratory are well shielded and interlocked to avoid any radiation exposure to the workers. Members of the staff and users receive little or no exposure. However, regular personnel monitoring is necessary for every worker having access to the radiation areas...

Presentation by the Principal Investigator / any collaborator/student. Presentation by the Principal Investigator / any collaborator (but not from IUAC) (student presentation not acceptable in case of sanction of funds)...

IUAC scientists/engineers may be involved in all stages of the experiment, viz., planning the experiment, execution of the experiment, data analysis/interpretation. In such cases, she/he would be a co­author in any publication arising out of the work. No paper should be communicated by any user for publication in a journal or a conference without the consent/comment of IUAC co-author....

For experiments performed by a group at IUAC (NSC), the data is the joint property of all persons named as collaborators in the Beam Time Request (BTR) Schedule. All collaborators must have signed on to the BTR. In the special case of a Ph. D Proposal, the data is the joint property of the Student and the Ph.D. Supervisor, both of whom should be named in the BTR form and both must sign. (Other collaborators would not have any rights to this data, except that their names should be included in the publication, unless as stated in 3).In case of a dispute between collaborators, those not agreeing to the publication of the data or have doubts about the analysis...

The last DAE-DST Vision meeting for Drawing Roadmap for High Energy and Nuclear Physics Research was held in Mumbai during April 7-8, 2006, which produced a Roadmap with several recommendations. Some of these have been implemented and yielded very encouraging results....

Inter University Accelerator Centre (IUAC) is an autonomous center of the University Grants Commission (UGC) providing advanced facilities to the user community for carrying out accelerator-based research in basic sciences. Research is conducted primarily in the fields of experimental nuclear physics, materials science, atomic and molecular physics, accelerator physics, accelerator mass spectrometry, radiation biology, and radiation physics. More information is available on IUAC's website:http://www.iuac.res.in/

Inter-University Accelerator Centre (IUAC) conducts M. Sc. Orientation Programme to encourage interested students to supplement their knowledge and to motivate them to continue their career in science. This programme has been envisaged to provide hands-on training in fields associated with accelerator-based research to selected M. Sc. students by way of short projects. However, this programme is not conducted to satisfy the M. Sc. credit requirements of any University / Department. Due to a large number of applicants every year, we regret that all applicants may not be selected for project work. To provide a chance for students from various universities, students from the same universities may be given less priority for consideration in successive years.

Guidelines for Ph D Programme at IUAC (2.4 Mb)

Academic visit programmes are offered for students above the level of class X from educational institutions such as Schools, Colleges Universities etc. Furthermore, this programme is extended for technical visitors from educational or research institutes/organizations as well.

Inter-University Accelerator Centre (IUAC) conducts different kinds of programs to promote the innovative way of doing Physics experiments using ExpEYES and usage of computers in the field of science education. Teaching Lab was setup at IUAC with the objective of developing cost effective equipment for teaching science. One-Week training programs are conducted twice every year. Physics and Electronics teachers from Colleges / Universities can apply for attending this. Selected candidates are given travel and accommodation support....
