Area of Science:

  • Nuclear Physics
  • Particle Accelerators
  • Space Radiobiology

Background:

  • The Alternating Gradient Synchrotron (AGS) at Brookhaven National Laboratory has supplied heavy ions for NASA's radiobiology research.
  • NASA's space radiobiology research requires a consistent supply of various ion beams at specific energies.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe the new Booster Applications Facility (BAF) project.
  • To present future operational plans for the AGS and BAF.

Main Methods:

  • The BAF will utilize a Booster synchrotron to provide a wide range of ion beams.
  • The facility will offer ion beams from protons to gold, with energies from 40-3000 MeV/nucleon.

Main Results:

  • The BAF will achieve maximum beam intensities of 10(10) to 10(11) ions per pulse.
