Senior Electrical Engineer
Compact Particle Acceleration Corporation (CPAC) is a start-up company focused on the development of the dielectric-wall accelerator (DWA) and its application to particle therapy and other fields of use. DWA technology will form the basis of a compact, high-gradient particle accelerator that is anticipated to be used in medical, security and defense applications.
CPAC collaborates with Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) to optimize the DWA for particle therapy and other applications. CPAC will also work with other commercial partners to develop the DWA for non-medical applications.
