International research environments

KTH has access to other types of infrastructure, testbeds, and environments, for example, laboratories and specialised technical equipment for testing, demonstrations, and verification of concepts. Many of these facilities are also available for external researchers and companies. KTH is also part of several international networks and research infrastructures.

Advanced Gamma Tracking Array (AGATA)

AGATA is a European research project with the aim of developing and building a 4pi gamma-ray spectrometer for use in experiments involving both stable and radioactive ion beams and facilitating the exploration of the structure and functions of atomic nuclei.

A Large Ion Collider Experiment (ALICE)

ALICE is a major ion collision experiment, like ATLAS performed in the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at the CERN particle physics laboratory. The main task is investigation of high energy ion collisions. Over 1,800 physicists, engineers, and technicians from 41 different countries are working together on the ALICE experiment.

A Torroidal LHC ApparatuS (ATLAS)

ATLAS is one of the experiments at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), a particle accelerator at CERN, the European Organization for Nuclear Research. Its main task is to investigate high energy collisions between elementary particles and using these collisions to try to improve the standard model and discover new physics phenomena.

Center for X-Rays in Swedish Material Science (CeXS)

The CeXS center at KTH hosts Swedish material science research’s beamline, located at the PETRA III synchrotron in Hamburg. CeXS secures privileged access to this infrastructure for Swedish researchers and also presents the requirements and requests of the Swedish material science research community.
