Radiation Effects Testing and Calibration Our facility is frequently upgraded and improved in response to suggestions from our user community. Checkout the latest SEU Facility Improvements. If you have any suggestions about how we can improve our services, please let us know how we can assist you to make your experience at the TVDG more pleasant and rewarding. Listed below are several examples of the type of work that is done at the SEU Test Facility.
Have you got questions? We have answers. See our SEU FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions) page for information about the SEU hardware and software. Download the SEU Test Facility Manual. The manual is in Windows Help File Format and is compressed for faster downloading. The file is about 800K in size. Click Here to download. (Requires WinZip to unzip) Download the SEU Demo Program.

Ion Irradiation/Implantation |
Heavy Ion Research The NASA Space Radiation Laboratory at Brookhaven National Laboratory studies the effects of relativistic heavy ions on cells and animals. This radiobiology research program is related to the investigation of space radiation on humans and is particularly important for the planning of future long-term deep space flights. See the NSRL website for more information. |
About Us A major improvement was the addition of a Pelletron charging systems to both accelerators. This link is a nice .gif animation of the operation of the charging system. Both accelerators (MP-6 and MP-7) have been upgraded to run at a maximum terminal voltage of 15 MV and are also capable of high intensity pulsed beam operation. Both accelerators are currently in service providing beam for SEU users as well as delivering gold and deuterons to RHIC. The facility can now support the Booster/AGS/RHIC/NSRL program and the outside user program simultaneously. This will allow us to run SEU and other applied programs year round. A layout diagram of the upgraded facility is available in .doc (MSWord) format. |
How To Get More Information If you are a registered user, you can request beam time by using our Time Reservation form. If your browser is forms-challenged or you prefer the convenience of e-mail, please request this information by sending an e-mail to ccarlson@bnl.gov. You can also look at the Introduction to the TVDG for additional information about our facility. A short biography of Robert J. Van de Graaff is now available. This is a chronology of his life where you can learn something about the man who invented the electrostatic particle accelerator. A very nice general reference site about Van de Graaff Generators is available. Some of this site is in French and some in English. If you are contemplating a trip to BNL, you may want to look at the following pages:
