Description
The Bern cyclotron, used for production of medical radioisotopes, also features a beam-line dedicated to physics research, a unique setup in Europe. An irradiation facility was established there for campaigns with 18 MeV protons. The energy spread is 2% over an adjustable beam size up to $2x2cm^2$. The beam current can be varied and monitored between $\sim1$ pA and 150 $\mu$A, whereas also the integrated dose is determined. A movable stage allows to irradiate samples of up to a size of $20x20cm^2$. In this talk we present the facility as well as applications, like the irradiation of novel pixel sensors for new tracking detectors for the HL-upgrades of the LHC.
