Going to the heaviest: First acceleration of Lead beams at CMAM
The aim was to optimize the machine to the maximum and check whether we were able to characterize the isotopic composition of a target used in an experiment at ISOLDE (CERN) for studies of the scattering of halo nuclei. At CMAM we prepared two sputtering targets one of enriched 208Pb (Z=82) (97.85% of 208Pb)mixed with silver and the other with...
CMAM has entered into the RADIATE project
CMAM has contributed in the last 17 years to a large number of researches demanding ion beam techniques for analysis and modification of materials. Our facility consists on a 5 MV tandem linear accelerator and 6 beam lines under operation. Many fields had benefit from this, such as material science, energy, environmental sciences, health, and...
CMAM has started up again his accelerator
CMAM has started up again his accelerator under a reduced special operation mode accepting internal experiments and maintenance, only small tasks with limited teams. While the majority of the staff is tele-working, CMAM is proceeding to a controlled and careful restart of the activities which must be realized on site. Only activities which can be...
