It is an experimental facility for universities and institutions of India in the fields of particle, nuclear, and material sciences. It is equipped with a 16 MV UD Pelletron, a Low Energy Ion Beam Facility, and many other offline facilities. A linear accelerator to extend the energy range of the pelletron is being built.
