Beam Availability

Currently Available Library Beams and Maximum Fluxes

Please note: not all Single Event Effect Library are available while the upgraded EBIS ion source is being commissioned. The beams that have been developed and are available are shown in the table below along with their most recently measured maximum flux.

Maximum Energies

The tables below show the ion species and their corresponding maximum energies that are available from the source machines that produce beam for NSRL.

EBIS Ions

Some EBIS ions are still being developed following a recent upgrade to the ion source. Contact NSRL staff for information and updates.

Tandem Ions

All Tandem ions apart from gold are unavailable for the duration of the 2025 RHIC run. During this time, alternate gold charge states are not possible, so the maximum gold energy is constrained to 196 MeV/u.
