Abstract

The new biomedical project Proscan requires reconstruction of the whole Nucleon Area. During this period, the proton irradiation facility for components testing will share the beam with the Proton Therapy Facility part of the area. Another low energy facility, suited for displacement effect studies, was reinstalled in the dedicated area near the eye cancer exposure site OPTIS. Both facilities are designed in a similar, flexible and user-friendly manner.
