AbstraktAbstract
The 2.5 MV Van-de-Graaff accelerator at the IEAP CTU Prague serves a range of experiments in fundamental physics and applied research. Mono-energetic neutrons, produced with tunable energy in selected ranges from 30 keV to 19 MeV, are suitable for neutron induced reaction studies. Tagged neutrons provide a gated neutron collimated beam for neutron reactions and spin physics studies of polarized neutrons and frozen polarized deuteron/proton targets. Light ion beams (presently 1H, 2H, 4He, newly 12C, 14N and 16O), produced in the range 200 keV - 2.3 MeV/u, are suitable for low-energy nuclear reactions of astrophysical and fusion significance. Ion beam analytical techniques (PIXE and RBS) are used for materials research. The radiation sources serve also for radiation effects studies as well as testing and calibration of radiation detectors including neutron-sensitive devices for space research. As the sole particle accelerator at Czech universities the facility serves for student laboratory education and training of young researchers. This contributions summarizes the current activities and the modernization of the existing infrastructure including development of new experiments.
