Title:
"High Dose-Rate Pulsed Electron Beams: Accelerator and Radiation Biology Research At Idaho State University "

Abstract:
The Idaho Accelerator Center (IAC) in Pocatello, Idaho, USA, has grown rapidly in the past four years and now houses about 11 operating electron and ion beam accelerators. This talk begins with a brief summary of the ISUPhysics Department and then includes 1) an overview of ISU’s new high-intensity, pulsed, high dose rate electron-beam accelerator (named ISIS), 2) recent high dose-rate dosimetry research, and 3) a brief summary of a radiation biology project involving pulsed electron-beam irradiation.
