Test run at the LINAC-200 electron linear accelerator successfully done
The LINAC-200 linear accelerator (the first stage of the LINAC-800 facility) at the Dzhelepov Laboratory of Nuclear Problems at JINR is a facility designed to provide electron test beams to carry out particle detectors R&D; for scientific and methodological work on the search for advanced methods and the creation of equipment for electron beam diagnostics; for applied research in the field of radiation material science, radiobiology and radiochemistry; for conducting experiments in the field of nuclear physics; and for educational projects.
The basis of the facility is a reconstructed MEA accelerator given to JINR by the National Institute for Subatomic Physics (NIKHEF, Holland). The key subsystems of the accelerator were redesigned or significantly upgraded.
