Beam Characterization Studies at the NASA Space Radiation Laboratory at Brookhaven

The physicists at NSRL are actively studying the beam characteristics of those beam that are delivered to the target room.  These studies include

1. Fragmentation: What is the exact makeup of the heavy ion beam; i.e. how much fragmentation has occurred before the beam strikes the target? 
2. Beam Energy Measurement via
   • Bragg Peaks and
   • Time of Flight
3. Rate Studies and Dosimetry.
4. Time Structure of Extracted Beam (under development)
5. Dose Variation Near Targets (under development)
6. Planar Beams using Collimation (under development)

One of ten national laboratories overseen and primarily funded by the Office of Science of the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), Brookhaven National Laboratory conducts research in the physical, biomedical, and environmental sciences, as well as in energy technologies and national security. Brookhaven Lab also builds and operates major scientific facilities available to university, industry and government researchers. Brookhaven is operated and managed for DOE’s Office of Science by Brookhaven Science Associates, a limited-liability company founded by Stony Brook University, the largest academic user of Laboratory facilities, and Battelle, a nonprofit, applied science and technology organization.
