2. What is JAI
The John Adams Institute for Accelerator Science is a centre of excellence in the UK for advanced and novel accelerator technology, created in 2004 to foster accelerator R&D in the universities
Sir John Adams (24 May March 1984) was the 'father' of the giant particle accelerators which have made CERN the leader in the field of high energy physics.
He was an extraordinary accelerator designer, engineer, scientist and administrator.
He worked during WWII in the Radar Laboratories of the Ministry of Aircraft Production. Thereafter he worked at the Atomic Energy Research establishment at Harwell on design & construction of a 180 MeV synchro-cyclotron.
He came to CERN in 1953 & was appointed director of the PS division in 1954 at the age of 34, becoming the leader for the world's biggest particle accelerator project.
In Adams worked as director of the Culham Fusion Lab. From he was member of the Board of the UK Atomic Energy Authority.
In 1971 he returned to CERN and served until 1975 as Director-General of then called Laboratory II, responsible for the design & construction of the SPS.
From he was executive DG of CERN and instrumental in approval of LEP.
