The Bern medical cyclotron laboratory and its beam line for multi-disciplinary research
Abstract.
The Bern medical cyclotron laboratory is based on a 18 MeV proton cyclotron equipped
with a specifically conceived 6 m long research beam line, terminated in a separate
bunker. This particular configuration is designed for industrial Positron Emission
Tomography (PET) radioisotope production as well as for novel detector, radiation
biophysics, radiation protection, materials science, radiochemistry and radiopharmacy
scientific activities. In particular, radiation hardness studies for space missions and high-
energy physics experiments are performed. This project is the result of the successful
collaboration among the University Hospital in Bern (Inselspital), the University of Bern
and industrial partners. This facility is open to national and international collaborations.
The scientific results of the first five years of operation will be presented.
