Özet

Development and commissioning of an irradiation system and experimental setup for nuclear research and materials analysis in a medical cyclotron facility is described. The setup, Low Energy in-Vacuum Irradiation System-LEVIS, is installed at the end of the existing R&D beamline. The components of LEVIS and their functions are explained and the characteristics such as energy, current and profile of the beam are measured. Different types of radiation detectors are installed and tested in the chamber for future applications of non-destructive analysis methods.
