Description

Located on the first floor of the UW Medical Center, UWMCF utilizes its cyclotron and resultant particle beams and instrumentation to support a variety of research areas. Available particle beams include proton up to 50MeV, alpha at 29MeV or 47MeV, 22MeV deuteron, and fast-neutron spectrum. The neutron beam is a highly characterized clinical fast-neutron beam with 40+ years of continuous use and well-understood dosimetry. UWMCF can support in-vivo and in-vitro studies in collaboration with a radiation biology lab and hosts a large amount of radiation effects testing on electronics, circuits, and solar cells. UWMCF also has a bustling radioisotope research and production program largely focused on short half-life alpha emitters, but with broad overall interests. Available beam time is typically in the afternoons/evening Tues-Fri. Engineering and dosimetry assistance available upon request.
