The high energy heavy ion microbeam facility was constructed at the Lanzhou Interdisciplinary Heavy Ion Microbeam(TR0) of the HIRFL accelerator, which can focus ions to micrometer scale in air with energies of several MeV/u up to 80 MeV/u. This microbeam facility bends the beam by two 45° dipole magnets down to the basement and the beam is focused into air by a triplet quadrupole magnets. The facility has a horizontal experimental platform for in-air irradiation and beam analysis, and spectrum acquisition, raster irradiation, targeting irradiation and microscopic positioning system has been established at the facility.
The microbeam facility has been used for interdisciplinary studies with Carbon to Krypton ion beam in single ion hit, single event effect analysis, ion induced charge collection, living cell irradiation and live cell imaging, ion beam fault injection attack, micro-irradiation in cell, mouse, polymer, crystal and microelectronics chip. International and domestic users who want to apply beam time at the facility please contact Guanghua Du at (gh_du@impcas.ac.cn).
