Light Ion Facility (LIF)
irmp | Louvain-la-Neuve
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.
