AbstractThis work reports a comparative study of laser ion implantation mainly performed at the Nuclear Physics Institute in Rez (Czech Republic), National Institute of Nuclear Physics (Italy), and the Plasma Physics Laboratory at the University of Messina (Italy) using different approaches. Thick metallic targets were irradiated in vacuum by a focused laser beam to generate plasma-producing multi-energy and multi-species ions. A post-acceleration system was employed in order to increase the energy of the produced ions and to generate ion beams suitable to be implanted in different substrates. The ion dose was controlled by the laser repetition rate and the time of irradiation. Rutherford backscattering analysis was carried out to evaluate the integral amount of implanted ion species, the concentration–depth profiles, the ion penetration depth, and the uniformity of depth profiles for ions laser implanted into monocrystalline substrates. The laser implantation under normal conditions and in post-acceleration configuration will be discussed on the basis of the characterization of the implanted substrates.

The ALICE (A Large Ion Collider Experiment) experiment at CERN will upgrade its Inner Tracking System (ITS) detector. The new ITS will consist of seven coaxial cylindrical layers of ALPIDE silicon sensors which are based on Monolithic Active Pixel Sensor (MAPS) technology. We have studied the radiation hardness of ALPIDE sensors using a 30 MeV proton beam provided by the cyclotron U-120M of the Nuclear Physics Institute of the Czech Academy of Sciences in Řež. In this paper, these long-term measurements will be described. After being irradiated up to the total ionization dose 2.7 Mrad and non-ionizing energy loss 2.7 × 10 13 1 MeV n eq · cm - 2 , ALPIDE sensors fulfill ITS upgrade project technical design requirements in terms of detection efficiency and fake-hit rate.

The TR-24 cyclotron (Advanced Cyclotron Systems Inc., Canada) of the Nuclear Physics Institute in Řež provides protons with variable energies from 18 MeV up to 24 MeV and beam current of 0.3 mA. For such parameters, the p +Be source reaction on thick Be target can produce a white-spectrum neutron field (En ≤ 22 MeV) with the intensity of 5×10 12 n/s/sr in forward direction. Present paper outlines the development of Be-target cooling system, devoted to remove the heat load of 7 kW (density up to 4 kW/cm2) from the target. Due to novel “orifice-form“ of jet cooling (resulting in the shortest source-to- sample distance of 20 mm) with extremely high cooling efficiency, the TR-24 p-n convertor can achieve neutron-flux up to 2×1012n/cm2/s nearby the target output.

The University of North Texas (UNT) Ion Beam Modification and Analysis Laboratory (IBMAL) has four particle accelerators including a National Electrostatics Corporation (NEC) 9SDH-2 3 MV tandem Pelletron, a NEC 9SH 3 MV single-ended Pelletron, and a 200 kV Cockcroft-Walton. A fourth HVEC AK 2.5 MV Van de Graaff accelerator is presently being refurbished as an educational training facility. These accelerators can produce and accelerate almost any ion in the periodic table at energies from a few keV to tens of MeV. They are used to modify materials by ion implantation and to analyze materials by numerous atomic and nuclear physics techniques. The NEC 9SH accelerator was recently installed in the IBMAL and subsequently upgraded with the addition of a capacitive-liner and terminal potential stabilization system to reduce ion energy spread and therefore improve spatial resolution of the probing ion beam to hundreds of nanometers. Research involves materials modification and synthesis by ion implantation for photonic, electronic, and magnetic applications, micro-fabrication by high energy (MeV) ion beam lithography, microanalysis of biomedical and semiconductor materials, development of highenergy ion nanoprobe focusing systems, and educational and outreach activities. An overview of the IBMAL facilities and some of the current research projects are discussed.

The Radiocarbon Dating Laboratory was founded in 1965 by the Department of Geology, University of Lyon, to study the Late Quaternary geology of the Rhone-Alps Region, and to contribute to hydrogeologic and archaeologic studies. It has been installed in the basement of the Nuclear Physics Institute. Preparation began in 1966 and first dates obtained in June 1967.

Two nuclear reactions of astrophysical interest, 26Mg(3He,d)27Al and 26Mg(d,p)27Mg, were measured for extraction of the Asymptotic Normalization Coefficients. Investigation of the target composition is presented, as well as the effects that showed up during analysis of the in-beam data obtained on CANAM accelerators in the Nuclear Physics Institute of the Czech Academy of Sciences (NPI CAS).
