Institute of Nuclear Research (ATOMKI)




Equipment, components and materials can be irradiated. The following particles are available: protons, deuterons, 3He++-particles, alpha-particles, neutrons, gamma photons. The facilities are listed below. The irradiation program is organized and coordinated by the Cyclotron Department of the Institute of Nuclear Research (ATOMKI) Hungarian Academy of Sciences.
