Description
The NASA Space Radiation Laboratory is a fixed-target beamline at the RHIC synchrotron complex. Constructed in 2002 for NASA radiobiology research, the laboratory provides a range of heavy ions between protons and bismuth to a maximum rigidity of 15 Tm. Along with radiobiology experiments, the user community includes research in microelectronics damage, nuclear data measurements, and provides a mature beamline for accelerator physics applications.
The facility, which extracts beam from the AGS Booster, will continue to operate during the EIC upgrade.
