This project aims to realise the first ultra-compact particle accelerator in Australia by adding a beamline and user end-station to the X-LAB. The aim is to transform technology which originated for particle physics into a facility producing tailored electron beams for both proof-of-principle high-tech applications and research. Applications range from physics to biology and from industrial processing to cultural heritage. This cutting-edge technology is 5-8 times smaller than existing systems, so the project aims to catalyse research which could transform societal applications, leading long-term to smaller, lighter accelerators for use in high-tech factories, hospitals, ports and mining sites, comprising a market worth $6.4B per year.

该项目旨在通过在 X-LAB 上添加光束线和用户终端站来实现澳大利亚第一台超紧凑粒子加速器。其目的是将起源于粒子物理学的技术转变为为原理验证高科技应用和研究生产定制电子束的设施。应用范围从物理学到生物学，从工业加工到文化遗产。这项尖端技术比现有系统小 5-8 倍，因此该项目旨在促进能够改变社会应用的研究，长期导致更小、更轻的加速器用于高科技工厂、医院、港口和采矿业网站，包括每年价值 6.4B 美元的市场。
