Recent developments in low and medium energy ion beam facilities for radiation effects testing
Ion beam facilities that operate in the 0.01 to 50 MeV/u energy range are useful materials development and electronic testing of semiconductor components. Currently used accelerator architectures include tandem linacs, cyclotrons, and RF linacs which provide a wide set of testing parameters in terms of ion species, beam energy, spatiotemporal format, and flux. We report on the current status and planned facility developments at the tandem (ANU, BNL), cyclotron (LBNL, MSU, TAMU), and RF linac (MSU) facilities. Trends in use cases and anticipated demand to support various research communities are discussed.
