High-intensity neutron and “cocktail” beams for space radiation hardness…

The BASE Facility operates in conjunction with the 88-Inch Cyclotron at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory to provide beams of heavy ions, protons, and neutrons for radiation effects testing. The very first single event effects (SEE) tests in the world were conducted here by The Aerospace Corporation in 1979, and we continue to be at the forefront of radiation effects testing to this day.
