EURO-LABS (EUROpean Laboratories for Accelerator Based Sciences) is a pioneering Horizon-Europe project to build the foundations for creating synergies and collaborations between the Research Infrastructures (RIs) of the Nuclear and High Energy communities. This endeavor is enhancing Europe's potential for successfully facing the new challenges in the coming decades.. The three communities are...
Due to their unique analytical and irradiation capabilities, ion beam accelerators play a major role in solving problems of modern society related to environmental pollution and monitoring, climate change, water and air quality, forensics, cultural heritage, agriculture, development of advanced materials for energy production via fission or fusion, and many other fields. Moreover, particle...
CNAO is one of the four centres in Europe, and six worldwide, offering treatment of tumours with both protons and carbon ions. Besides clinical activity, CNAO has also research and education as institutional purposes and for this reason in addition to the three treatment rooms, the CNAO center is equipped with an “experimental room” dedicated to experimental activities, which is also available...
Ion beam irradiation has the potential to be used as a surrogate for neutron irradiation of candidate core structural materials. Ion beam irradiation offers materials damage levels not accessible by neutron irradiation in test reactors due to time and cost constraints. However, a reproducible ion beam irradiation experiment requires close control of irradiation parameters and conditions, such...
