Proton Synchrotron Division

As from January 2003, PS Division merged with SL Division to form the Accelerators & Beams Division.

The Division is responsible for the operation of five accelerators which operate for close to 6400 hours per year and deliver beams of protons, Pb ions and antiprotons either to the SPS for further acceleration or directly the Physics users located in four experimental areas: East Hall, ISOLDE facility, AD area and TOF facility. In addition to its rôle as supplier of all of CERN's beams, the PS Division is responsible for the R&D for the possible future facilities at CERN in the post-LHC era.
