Introduction
The LAT provides access to a 6 MV Pelletron Tandem accelerator as well as a 1.7 MV Tendetron accelerator. The accelerator facility is able to produce protons, neutrons as well as a multitude of ion beams. The neutron beam line is equipped with an NMR magnet analyzer system providing mono-energetic neutrons via (p, n) reactions with keV energy resolution. A low energy neutron spectrometer is presently installed and used by PICO and SuperCDMS dark matter experiments at a dedicated beam line which allows unique, high precision calibrations of dark matter experiments by tagging mono-energetic nuclear recoils. More information about the beam facilities at UdeM can be found here.
Material analysis
Several ion beam material analysis techniques are available in the laboratory, including
ERD-TOF (Elastic Recoil Detection - Time Of Flight)
RBS (Rutherford Back Scattering) with channeling
- micro-PIXE (Particle-Induced X-ray Emission)
- 20 um lateral resolution
