Abstract :
The 76" cyclotron of the Crocker Nuclear Laboratory (CNL) at the University of California at Davis (UCD) provides low to medium energy protons up to approximately 68-MeV, which is an excellent range for simulation of protons seen by materials and microelectronic devices behind spacecraft\´s shielding. Average particle beam fluxes range from tens of particles/(cm2·s) up to a very large flux of approximately 1011 particles/(cm2·s). Description of the facility and quality control of beam energy and flux (dose rate) measurements are described. Beams of deuterons and 4 He (α-particle) up to 45 and 90-MeV respectively can be provided if requested
