介绍了伯明翰大学最近升级的辐照设施的操作经验。这是基于 MC40 医用回旋加速器的高强度区域，提供 3 至 38 MeV 的质子能量和数十 fA 至 A 的电流。使用多种技术组合，可提供位移损伤和总电离剂量的精确剂量测定。辐照在温度受控的室内进行，可以通过光束进行扫描，并且可以对设备进行偏置、计时和读出。一天内可提供高达数个 10 16 1 MeV n eq/cm 2 的通量和 GRad 电离剂量。
Operational experience with the recently upgraded irradiation facility at the University of Birmingham is presented. This is based around the high intensity area of the MC40 medical cyclotron providing proton energies between 3 and 38 MeV and currents ranging from tens of fA to A. Accurate dosimetry for displacement damage and total ionizing dose, using a combination of techniques, is offered. Irradiations are carried out in a temperature controlled chamber that can be scanned through the beam, with the possibility for the devices to be biased, clocked, and read-out. Fluence up to several 10 16 1 MeV n eq/cm 2 and GRad ionizing dose can be delivered within a day.
