Abstract

The Birmingham Cyclotron and associated facilities have an active programme of detector use and irradiation, ranging from nuclear physics and related applications to positron imaging and radiation damage studies. In 2022 a new high flux neutron source (HF-ADNeF) will be installed and commissioned, extending the present charged-particle studies to neutron physics and neutron damage. An overview of the Birmingham Cyclotron Facility is given along with details of the accelerator-driven neutron source. Several examples around detector testing, nuclear physics and positron imaging are outlined.
