About Variable Energy Cyclotron Centre

The Variable Energy Cyclotron Centre (VECC), one of the premier nuclear science and accelerator technology centres of India is a Constituent Institutes (CI) of Homi Bhabha National Institute (HBNI), Mumbai. In addition to its own programmes of building the latest state of the art accelerators, the Centre provides R & D facilities to various branches of nuclear sciences. A wide spectrum of research programmes on Accelerator Physics, Experimental and Theoretical Nuclear Physics, Physics with Rare Ion Beams & Nuclear Astrophysics, Hadronic Physics, Quark Gluon Plasma Physics, Material Science, Radio Chemistry, Nuclear Medicine, Computer Science & Engineering, Electronics etc are carried out at the Centre. VECC is also part of the International Collaboration at ultra-relativistic heavy ion collisions in Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider at Brookhaven National Laboratory & Large Hadron Collider at CERN, Geneva. The Centre also conducts one year pre-doctoral orientation course in physics for HBNI students.
