AGORFIRM, the AGOR facility for irradiations of materials

AGORFIRM is an activity of the KVI, a cyclotron laboratory in the Northern part of the Netherlands. Central in the institute is the superconducting cyclotron AGOR. AGORFIRM is a facility that uses a dedicated beam line of the AGOR cyclotron for irradiations with protons and carbon ions in air. The facility is on a regular basis available for radiation damage and radiobiology studies. This paper gives an overview of the facility, the various beams and services available and of recently conducted characterization measurements and modeling.
