Startup of the Proton Radiographic Facility at the U-70 accelerator

Abstract

The first results of Proton Radiographic Facility operation on the beam with energies of 50–70 GeV extracted from the U-70 synchrotron at the Institute for High Energy Physics are presented. This facility is capable of forming proton radiographic images of samples with an optical thickness as large as 450 g/cm² and a field of view of 220 mm or more.
