Not Just our Name — Research Instruments are part of our DNA
RI has a long and successful history in serving customers at large scale research facilities or, put more simply, in “big science”. They build very complex machines to push the frontiers of knowledge and technology, and we at RI are thrilled to provide the instruments they need.
Particle Accelerators
Particles accelerated close to the speed of light have applications in science, medicine and beyond. No matter if you want to accelerate electrons, protons or other particles, no matter if you are looking for low or high beam energies, talk to us. RI is your go-to-place.
Light Sources
Light sources like synchrotrons and free-electron lasers (FELs) generate extremely bright and coherent beams of X-rays that allow scientists to study matter at the atomic and molecular level. These tools enable discoveries from protein structures to advanced battery materials. At the heart of these light sources? Particle accelerators that accelerate electrons to nearly the speed of light, producing intense radiation when the particles are steered or undulated by magnetic fields. Our contribution: Accelerator technology and beamline instrumentation.
Particle Physics
What are the basic building blocks of the universe? Particle physics experiments like the famous LHC at CERN are trying to find the answer.
We support this search for the needle in the haystack with what we do best, tech: Superconducting cavities, vacuum, high-precision components.
Cosmology
Neutrinos are the most elusive of all elementary particles, so researchers go to great lengths to track them down and measure them. Their exact mass is still a mystery. If someone finds out, it’ll be with our help. Capabilities involved: Extreme vacuum, superconductivity, Tritium handling, cryogenics at various temperature levels, such as He, N, H2 and Ar.
Energy and Fusion Research
Nuclear fusion is what powers the sun, and massive research activities are underway to recreate this process producing electricity for us here on Earth. Needless to say, this involves extreme conditions, extraordinary materials, special certifications. Things that we at RI are good at.
Challenge? Accepted!
