Description
The preliminary setup of the METU Defocusing Beamline was commissioned in December 2017. This beamline, which is at the Turkish Atomic Energy Agency (TAEA) Saraykoy Nuclear Research and Training Center (SANAEM), follows the R&D beamline at the 15-30 MeV proton cyclotron of Proton Accelerator Facility (PAF). The preliminary setup, with two quadrupole magnets provides an irradiation area of 4x6cm with 15% radiation dose uniformity, with a flux of 3.8x10^9 p/cm/s^2. The final setup which will be constructed and commissioned at the end of 2018, will have a adjustable collimator and 3 quadropole magnets, providing users with an irradiation area conforming to the ESA-ESCC 25100 standard, with 10% radiation dose uniformity and a flux menu selectable between 10^6-10^10.
The first SEE tests at the preliminary setup were performed with a collaboration of TUBITAK Space Institute. A test card was designed around two units of buffers and the readout was performed using an oscilloscope with frame capture. Two rounds of 25 second DAQ windows were acquired. In this talk, we will first present the METU DBL project and then the results of the SEE tests performed at this new facility.
