List of available infrastructures and beams

The 15 MV SMP Tandem accelerator at LNS providing heavy-ion beams from protons to gold up to energies of few MeV/u. The Superconducting Cyclotron at LNS providing a wide variety of heavy-ion beams with energies up to 80 MeV/u for light ions completely ionised and 20 MeV/A for heavier ions, like 238U38+. The LNS Superconducting Cyclotron will be equipped with a second beam extraction system to increase the intensity of stable beams. This will allow the use of the new FRAgment Ion Separator (FRAISE) for exotic beams production via projectile fragmentation. The FRAISE facility will come into operation during the period of the offered access.Applied, interdisciplinary and biomedical physics activities are based on the CATANA facility at LNS where, besides the proton-therapy, biomedical physics experiments using proton and carbon beams from the cyclotron are performed.

The list of the available beams for LNS is here.

Facility offers the following services:

• A Target Laboratory to produce targets and thin films depositions for nuclear physics experiments and interdisciplinary projects
• Technical assistance for the installation of new set-ups, the maintenance of vacuum instrumentation, pumping systems, electrical components, and mechanical parts of the existing apparatuses
• A computing centre and Data Acquisition Services for specific setups
