Abstract

The 76 cyclotron of the Crocker Nuclear Laboratory (CNL) at the University of California at Davis (UCD) provides low to medium energy protons up to approximately 68-MeV, which is an excellent range for simulation of protons seen by materials and microelectronic devices behind spacecraft's shielding. Average particle beam fluxes range from tens of particles/(cm/sup 2//spl middot/s) up to a very large flux of approximately 10/sup 11/ particles/(cm/sup 2//spl middot/s). Description of the facility and quality control of beam energy and flux (dose rate) measurements are described. Beams of deuterons and /sup 4/He (/spl alpha/-particle) up to 45 and 90-MeV respectively can be provided if requested.
