Welcome to CMAM

The Centre for Micro Analysis of Materials (CMAM) is a research center belonging to the Universidad Autónoma de Madrid (UAM) whose main experimental tool is an electrostatic ion accelerator with a maximum terminal voltage of 5 MV, devoted to the analysis and modification of materials. The accelerator is exploited through a set of beamlines, complemented by several ancillary scientific tools and lab support spaces.

CMAM is a distributed Singular Scientific-Technical Infrastructure (ICTS) called Accelerator-Based Application Infrastructure (IABA) and formed by two nodes, the National Accelerator Center (CNA) and the CMAM.

CMAM is the result of a project financed though the FEDER program and originally led by Prof. Fernando Agulló López, assisted by an Advisory Committee formed by outstanding members of the Spanish scientific, cultural and academic community.

The facility was inaugurated on March 24, 2003.
