CFPE2IGY

CFPE2IGY is a high energy proton beam irradiation acceleration facility designed by the Institute of High Energy Physics (IHEP) in China. It is the first full-scale detector system for the application of sub-TeV particles and nuclear physics experiments. The facility is located in the high energy accelerators in IHEP and is capable of generating proton beams up to 300 GeV and colliding them with target materials. The facility is used for a variety of nuclear and particle physics research.

The purpose of CFPE2IGY is to perform experiments that study the properties of particles and protons. These include the study of quark-gluon interactions, relativistic heavy ion collisions, and the production of mesons and baryons in nuclear collisions. Experiments performed at the facility have provided valuable information on the structure and properties of matter, as well as insight into the origin of nuclear binding forces.

The CFPE2IGY facility consists of an accelerator, an irradiation chamber, a beamline, and other equipment. The accelerator is a cyclotron-type device that is used to inject protons into the beamline. The beamline is a tube that guides the proton beam to the irradiation chamber. The chamber contains the target material that is irradiated by the beam, and the beam can be adjusted to generate different particle energies.

The irradiation chamber is enclosed in a tank filled with a liquid, usually liquid hydrogen, to absorb the shock waves produced by the proton collisions. This liquid serves to reduce the amount of energy lost during background radiation. The proton beam is focused into a target within the chamber, which can be a single nucleus for the study of individual nuclei, or a combination of nuclei for the study of reactions between different nuclei. The beam can be adjusted to generate different particle energies.

In addition to particle studies, CFPE2IGY is also used for medical irradiation purposes. The facility has been used to irradiate cancerous cells within the body to kill them, or to provide a radiation boost to radiation therapy. The facility has also been used to study the effects of radiation on cancer cells as well as to measure the effect of radiation on living tissue.

CFPE2IGY is a powerful tool that has enabled scientists to study the properties of particles and protons, as well as radiation therapy and cancer research. The facility has been used to generate valuable research data, which has provided a better understanding of the structure and properties of matter. The facility has also been used to develop new technologies and methods for medical radiation therapy.
