The experimental equipment consists of the accelerator, its beam lines, dedicated to various application areas and several ancillary equipments (micro-analytical techniques, sample preparation). The accelerator is of the tandem type with 5 MV maximum terminal voltage. It is provided with two sources: a plasma source for gaseous substances and a sputtering source for obtaining practically any element of the periodic table from a solid target. The building that hosts the laboratories is located in 3 Faraday street of the Cantoblanco Campus and consists of two separate parts: the accelerator vault and the service building for offices, laboratories, and auxiliary services.
