New beamline with improved lateral resolution on the MIC

15.04.2022

A new beamline is currently being assembled on a tandem accelerator. The main feature of so-called nanobeam is the improved lateral resolution of the measurement, we expect that the proton beam at lower intensities can be focused to a size of about 100 nm, and at higher intensities to a few 100 nm. The new beamline will enable a significant quality leap, especially in the measurements of biological tissues at the subcellular level. Most of the main components (measuring station, vacuum pump, magnetic lenses) are ready for installation, the first tests are expected in autumn 2022.
