Science has underpinned human progress for centuries. It has improved our quality of life and helps us understand our place in the Universe. The days when important breakthroughs could be achieved by a researcher working alone in a laboratory with minimal equipment are long gone. Now, the most important insights in science demand that researchers work in teams, collaborating between universities and laboratories and across national boundaries, often hand-in-hand with expert industrial partners. They also demand the best and most sophisticated equipment.The Cockcroft Institute reflects these changes. Its purpose is to research, design and develop particle accelerators, machines that can be used to reveal the nature of matter, to probe what happened at the instant the universe was born and to develop new materials and medicines to improve our quality of life. These machines are at the cutting-edge of technology, pushing to the limits our ability to control and understand processes happening at the smallest scales, and at the speed of light. They range from very small instruments built to manipulate a difficult process to large sources of particles to create and probe the innermost workings of atoms. The global economy can afford only a few of these latter machines and so they demand collaboration between multi-national teams of the world's best scientists and engineers.The Cockcroft Institute - a collaboration between academia, national laboratories, industry and local economy - brings together the best accelerator scientists, engineers, educators and industrialists to conceive, design, construct and use innovative instruments of discovery at all scales and lead the UK's participation in flagship international experiments. It cultures the curiosity of emerging minds via education of the future generation and engages with industrial partners to generate wealth for the community that sustains us.Established more than a decade ago, the Cockcroft Institute is increasingly focusing its attention on three parallel and complementary activities:- Contributions to near future scientific frontier facilities based on incremental advances to conventional accelerating technologies- Ground-breaking research in novel methods of particle acceleration which have the long term potential to yield much more compact types of particle accelerators- Applications of accelerators to address global challenges in healthcare, security, energy, manufacturing and the environment.

几个世纪以来，科学一直支撑着人类的进步。它改善了我们的生活质量，并帮助我们了解我们在宇宙中的位置。研究人员在实验室里独自工作，只需最少的设备就能实现重要突破的日子早已一去不复返了。现在，科学界最重要的洞察力要求研究人员团队合作，在大学和实验室之间进行合作，跨越国界，通常与专业的工业合作伙伴携手合作。他们还需要最好、最精密的设备。考克罗夫特研究所反映了这些变化。它的目的是研究、设计和开发粒子加速器，这种机器可以用来揭示物质的本质，探测宇宙诞生的那一刻发生了什么，并开发新的材料和药物来改善我们的生活质量。这些机器处于技术的前沿，将我们控制和理解以最小规模和光速发生的过程的能力推向了极限。它们的范围从用于操纵困难过程的非常小的仪器到用于创建和探测原子最内部工作的大型粒子源。全球经济只能负担得起这些机器中的一小部分，因此它们需要由世界上最优秀的科学家和工程师组成的多国团队之间的合作。Cockcroft研究所-学术界、国家实验室、工业界和当地经济的合作-聚集了最优秀的加速器科学家、工程师、教育工作者和实业家，以构思、设计、建造和使用各种规模的创新发现工具，并领导英国参与旗舰国际实验。Cockcroft研究所成立于十多年前，正日益将注意力集中在三项平行和互补的活动上：-基于对传统加速技术的渐进进步，对近期科学前沿设施的贡献--对新颖粒子加速方法的开创性研究，从长期来看有可能产生更紧凑的粒子加速器--加速器的应用，以应对医疗保健、安全、能源、制造和环境方面的全球挑战。
