Description
The 3 MV Tandetron accelerator was installed in 2012 and is mainly dedicated to applied physics experiments. The machine is fully equipped to do ion beam analysis
(IBA) and implantation experiments. The first beam-line has all the necessary detectors to perform particle induced X-ray emission (PIXE), particle induced gamma
ray emission (PIGE), Rutherford backscattering (RBS) and elastic recoil detection analysis (ERDA).
We also have the possibility to do micro-beam analysis using a high performance focusing electrostatic quadrupole lens.
The second beam-line is dedicated to implantation experiments, having the possibility to scan a wide sample
surface (18x18 cm) with very accurate control of the dose. The third beam-line is a multipurpose beam-line used mainly for nuclear astrophysics experiments.
