NMP Lund View towards the accelerator (3 MV single-ended NEC)
Present status Working micro-probe line, including IBL Beam-line for sub-µm spot almost finished Alignment of lenses, apertures and other beam transport adjustments needed Beam blanker exists Beam scanning and software for IBA ready
Modifications needed for SIHF Choice of hit detection method Facility design; window, cell dish, microscope, detector Cell dish design Beam scan coordinates <-> cell position from microscopy (tests using track film) Cell irradiations
Summary There are a lot of tasks available for the MCRTN PhD-student and post-doc(s). The technical and research environment will allow us to have a SIHF in function within the project time.
