The UK National Ion Beam Centre provides ion beam time for a range of external users, using ion beams in a range of different ways. Uses range from implantation for doping semiconductor materials to change their electrical and optical properties to ion beam analysis of meteor impact on items recovered from space to determine the origin of space debris. The aim of this proposal is to upgrade the control system of one of the accelerators to increase its working life by another 20 years. At the same time this upgrade will help increase the level of automation possible on this system and increase the robustness of remote operation. A second piece of equipment in this proposal will increase the operational parameters of the ion implantation capability so that implantation and irradiation can be accomplished at even higher temperatures (1000C) which have some beneficial affects for implantation of SiC devices and can be used to explore what happens in nuclear reactor materials at these elevated temperatures during irradiation.

英国国家离子束中心为一系列外部用户提供离子束时间，以一系列不同的方式使用离子束。其用途从注入掺杂半导体材料以改变其电学和光学特性，到对流星撞击从空间回收的物品进行离子束分析以确定空间碎片的来源。该提案的目的是升级其中一个加速器的控制系统，以将其工作寿命再延长20年。同时，这一升级将有助于提高该系统的自动化水平，并提高远程操作的可靠性。该提议中的第二件设备将增加离子注入能力的操作参数，使得可以在甚至更高的温度（1000 ℃）下完成注入和辐照，这对SiC器件的注入具有一些有益的影响，并且可以用于探索在辐照期间在这些升高的温度下核反应堆材料中发生的情况。
