Light Ion Facility (LIF)

The CYCLONE 110 accelerates protons up to 65 MeV.

With light ions, the irradiation tests are made in air.

After passing through a scattering foil, air and the monitoring system, the maximum energy on the DUT is 62 MeV.

A set of 5 degradors enables to reach 17 different energies between 10 and 62 MeV.

Beam parameters

The beam size diameter is 80mm with a homogeneity better than 10% within this area. 

The flux can be set from a few thousand of protons/(s.cm²) up to 2E8 protons/(s.cm²).
