The Quantum Systems and advanced Accelerator Research (QUASAR) Group at the University of Liverpool (UK) is an internationally structured research group, carrying out discovery science with antimatter and developing the next generation of particle accelerator technologies.
We have been leading pan-European research networks across physics, engineering and life sciences to educate the next generation of accelerator scientists and technologists for more than a decade. In combination, we have coordinated the training of more than 100 Marie Curie Fellows.
Our research is realized in close collaboration with our national and international partners.
Our research activities include:
• Antimatter research, investigating fundamental symmetries and interactions;
• Frontier accelerators, such as the Large Hadron Collider at CERN and its upgrade programs;
• Novel accelerators, including plasma wakefield accelerators and ultra-compact accelerators-on-a-chip;
• Accelerator applications with a focus on medical applications.
