===== Facility =====

The AIC-144 is a cyclotron which was designed and built at the institute of Nuclear Physics (Krakow, Poland). It is primarily used as a source of deuteron and proton beams. They are accelerated up to 60 MeV with a beam current of 100nA.

The beam can be redirected into 3 exits with the following beam parameters

^ Beam Line ^ Energy range (MeV) ^ Flux  range ($cm^{-2} s^{-1}$) ^ FWHM ^ Notes ^
| Experimental Room | 40 - 60 | $5\times10^{8} - 5\times10^{10}$ | < 1cm | beam flux is much higher in the beam center | 
| Horizontal Beam Line | 40-58 | $5\times10^{5} - 3\times10^{8}$ | < 2cm |  lower beam flux is possible but much more difficult to control. The maximum flux is about $5\times10^{8}$ but can be kept only for a short time period | 
| Horizontal beam line; broad beam profile | 0-58 | $5\times10^{5} - 10^{10}$ | < 1cm - 5cm | the flux will be lower for energies below 40 MeV | 

==== Horizontal Beam Line ====

The energy range for protons in the horizontal beam line is from 0 to 58MeV. The field size is <40mm with a field homogeneity of ~ 5%.

==== Experimental Room ====

Protons arriving at the experimental room have energies ranging from 10 MeV to 60 MeV with a beam current ranging from 2 nA to 100 nA. The spot size is 10mm ($1\sigma$) with an irradiation field diameter of up to 12cm. The beam homogeneity is about ~15%.
