The MC40 cyclotron at the University of Birmingham is routinely involved with proton irradiations for several detector R&D projects. For the majority of these irradiations, a 27 MeV proton beam is delivered at a current of 200 nA, being able to supply fluences of a few 10$^{15}$ n$_{\text{eq}}$/cm$^{2}$ in one day. The proton energy at the target and the corresponding hardness factor have been...
Beam tests are the standard method for determining the position resolution of detectors. This requires the precise knowledge of the beam-position resolution at the detector to be tested. A method is proposed which achieves this. It uses a segmented silicon detector with normally incident beam. It is found that for normal incidence events with cluster-size 2 have a position accuracy well below...
The proton irradiation site at the Bonn Isochronous Cyclotron is in operation since 2021.
The accelerator typically provides a 14 MeV (~12.5 MeV on DUT) proton beam with a few mm width and currents of 1 $\mu$A and to the site.
DUTs are irradiated in a cooling box at < -20 °C, mounted on a XY-motorstage, which is moved row-wise through the beam on a grid-like pattern.

We present the first detectors and Single Event Effects experiments in the new Hispanos neutron facility, located at the National Centre of Accelerators, Sevilla, Spain. The detector experiment tests commercial photodiodes, with special emphasis in how to avoid electromagnetic interference. The SEE experiment starts to characterize vulnerabilities of a Intel MAX10 FPGA under fast neutrons....
