"The MedAustron Ion Therapy Center is an ambulatory for tumour treatment located in the city of Wiener Neustadt, Austria, Europe. The applied therapeutical beams are delivered by the MedAustron Particle Therapy Accelerator (MAPTA), a synchrotron-based and CE-certified medical accelerator providing 60-250 MeV proton and 120-400 MeV/u carbon ion beams to three treatment rooms. Outside of the...

A compact, electron accelerator-based neutron facility has been developed and is now operational at AIST (National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology) in Tsukuba, Japan. The facility is called AISTANS (Analytical facility for Industrial Science and Technology using Accelerator based Neutron Source)[1,2] and began operations in 2020. AISTANS uses a S-band linear electron...
