The Berkeley Accelerator Space Effects (BASE) Facility

摘要

The 88-Inch Cyclotron at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory - a Department of Energy (DOE) multipurpose laboratory - is now being jointly funded by the DOE, the U.S. Air Force (USAF) and the National Reconnaissance Office (NRO). The Cyclotron is now running about 50% of the time using the BASE facility for radiation effects testing with heavy ions and protons. A neutron test facility is under construction.
