Description
The Bern cyclotron is an 18 MeV proton accelerator that is used to irradiate samples with a total ionising dose-rate ranging from 10 to 20^3 rad/s (10^8 to 10^11 1MeV n_{eq}/(cm^2 s)). Using a setup including beam monitoring, current measurements and a flexible infrastructure to mount samples, the setup allows testing for radiation hardness of samples (electronics, silicon sensors, cables) employed in the high-radiation environments such as the HL-LHC. In this poster, I present the setup and demonstrate its flexibility with examples of how the Bern cyclotron can be used for irradiation studies.
