Accelerator facilities at IRMM

A video is available (icon 4KB ) which describes the specialised scientific infrastructure for accurate neutron data measurements at JRC-IRMM.


GELINA

GELINA is a 150 MeV electron accelerator serving as strong white neutron source for high resolution neutron time-of-flight measurements. The facility covers the energy range from thermal to 15 MeV, has unsurpassed time resolution of less than 1 ns (FWHM) and serves an array of flight paths up to 400 m long on which as many as 12 experiments can be carried out simultaneously.


Van de Graaff

The 7 MV Van de Graaff facility is an electrostatic accelerator for the production of continuous and pulsed proton-, deuteron- and helium ion beams. Six beam lines and experimental set-ups are attached to the accelerator. Quasi mono-energetic neutrons in the energy region 0 - 24 MeV are produced by using lithium, deuterium or tritium targets.
