Description

The LNL cyclotron has been commissioned, and the first proton beam has been produced and used for tests experiments since the end of May 2024. The energy range is 35 to 70 MeV and the current range is 30nA to 500micro-Amps. The Workshop is meant to present and discuss the most appealing research programs for the coming two years using the high intensity proton beam facility of the SPES cyclotron.The first day will focus on fundamental research while the second one will be dedicated to life science applications.
