At LABEC, the main accelerator is a\u00a0tandem\u00a0<\/strong>electrostatic\u00a0<\/strong>accelerator<\/strong> with maximum terminal voltage of\u00a0<\/span>3 MV.<\/strong>\u00a0The system is equipped with three independent ion sources: a Duoplasmatron source, typically used to extract hydrogen ions and two <\/span>sputtering<\/em>\u00a0ion sources exploiting caesium (Cs) ions (one of which fully dedicated to Accelerator Mass Spectrometry – AMS – measurements). On the high-energy side, six different beam lines are installed, each of them dedicated to a specific technique or application: AMS, Ion Beam Analysis (IBA) – both in vacuum and with external beam –\u00a0 for environment and cultural heritage, and implantations\/modification of materials.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

LABEC is also dedicated to the development of innovative accelerator machines, such as MACHINA<\/strong>\u00a0(Movable Accelerator for Cultural Heritage In situ Non-destructive Analysis<\/em>), the first movable particle accelerator dedicated to cultural heritage. <\/strong>MACHINA is developed with CERN KT (Geneva) and Opificio delle Pietre Dure (Firenze) in the framework of a project, whose LABEC is the scientific coordinator, funded\u00a0by Ministero dell’Universit\u00e0 e della Ricerca.<\/p>\n

Thanks to its fundamental characteristic of the portability, MACHINA is going to transform the study and the\u00a0diagnostic of cultural heritage<\/strong>\u00a0and to help experts and researchers to analyze thoroughly and in a non-invasive<\/strong> way artworks and historical finds, which are unmovable, such as frescos, or those of great dimensions, or – again – those that are non transportable due to their critical preservation conditions.<\/p>\n

MACHINA is based on the\u00a0radio frequency quadrupole technology<\/strong> (HF-RFQ), already developed at CERN. This technology allows us to realize an extremely compact and relatively light machine: about 2 meters long and 300 kg weight.\u00a0In particular,<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>LABEC deals with the development of the low energy side, including the ion source and the injection section, and of the high energy side, equipped with an external beam PIXE <\/span>(Particle Induced X-ray Emission) set-up<\/span>, as well as with the all accelerator control systems.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
