The Gent University 15 MeV 20 Kw linear electron accelerator facility, initially designed for fundamental nuclear physics research, was modified to generate beams for new experimental interdisciplinary projects. The beams are available now at seven ports for expousre of targets to X-ray or for direct electron irradiation. The high number of materials, with their different physical nature (dimensions, density...), that are under investigation, and the various goals of the radiation experiments, require a great diversity of irradiation conditions. Specialised equipment has been developed. The accelerator facility in its present configuration and the actual output performance are presented.
