Technology at Daresbury Laboratory (T@DL) provides technology, engineering and support to STFC’s facilities and programmes. The division is organised into seven groups, four in the Engineering Technology Centre (ETC), and the others include the Detector Systems Group and the Nuclear Physics Group. The focus is on the support of STFC’s programme and facilities, with ASTeC being the largest customer at present, but T@DL works directly with other STFC departments, national laboratories, international facilities and universities.
T@DL works closely with other divisions in the technology department to provide engineering support across the STFC programme. The Nuclear Physics Group provides the main link into the UK nuclear physics community, supporting and coordinating the STFC programme and projects in this field. In addition to engineering and support services provided in collaboration with other divisions in TD, T@DL retains specialist expertise in accelerator systems, photon detection systems and electrical and control systems.
