Vancouver TALK 22: Innovative Proton Beam Applications at TRIUMF
Speaker: Dr Ewart Blackmore, Former Head of the Accelerator Technology Division, TRIUMF
Abstract:
The presentation will describe applications of the TRIUMF cyclotron beams for cancer therapy, radiation effect testing of electronics and the production of medical isotopes. Although the TRIUMF cyclotron was initially built for basic research in nuclear and particle physics, there have been a number of practical applications of the proton beams. These include the treatment of cancers of the eye, radiation testing of electronics and materials for space, aircraft and ground level effects and the production of medical isotopes.
