The facility has been used for studying insulators for which low displacement per atom (dpa) rates are required. The facility allows in-beam testing at a controlled temperature of the electrical, dielectric (RF), and optical properties of solid and gas insulators. Irradiation can be performed in high vacuum, air, or controlled atmospheres (such as N or He).

For insulator studies typical dpa rates range from about 10-12 to 10-8 dpa/s while ionization rates (Bremsstrahlung or direct electron irradiation) range form 0 to ≈ 104 Gy/s
For insulator studies typical dpa rates range from about 10<sup>-12</sup> to 10<sup>-8</sup> dpa/s while ionization rates (Bremsstrahlung or direct electron irradiation) up to ≈ 10<sup>4</sup> Gy/s
For steels, about 10-3 dpa/day can be achieved in samples of approximately 3x3x1 mm3.
For steels, about 10<sup>-3</sup> dpa/day can be achieved in samples of approximately 3x3x1 mm<sup>3</sup>.




Flexibility
Flexibility
The facility is extremely flexible and has several unique in-beam systems for measuring electrical conductivity, dielectric loss and permittivity (Hz to GHz), and optical absorption and emission during irradiation over a wide range of dose rates and temperatures. Irradiations can be performed in high vacuum, air, or controlled atmosphere such as N or He. Simulation in electron accelerators offers important advantages, namely easy experimental parameter control and high dose rates available (0 a ≈105 Gy/s).
