Our team
KITTEN brings together scientists from two different institutes (ITEP and IBPT) and a wide range of disciplines.
The Institute for Beam Physics and Technology (IBPT)
The IBPT at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) operates the accelerator facilities KARA (Karlsruhe Research Accelerator) as an accelerator test facility and KIT light source as well as the short-pulse linear accelerator FLUTE (Far Infrared Linac and Test Experiment) as a source for intensive, ultra-short electron and terahertz radiation pulses.
The Institute for Technical Physics (ITEP)
The ITEP's main areas of work are superconductivity and cryogenics with their applications, such as nuclear fusion or superconducting components in magnet and energy technology. The development of high-temperature superconductors, cryogenic components and the characterization of low-temperature structural materials are also essential.
