Abstract
At the National Centre of Accelerators (CNA) in Seville, Spain, a system for the irradiation of mono-layer cell cultures is under study, to be implemented at the external beam line of the cyclotron facility. This cyclotron delivers an 18 MeV proton beam, which can be used for investigating the Relative Biological Effectiveness (RBE) of protons at low energies. In the following, the characteristics of the experimental beam line are presented, together with a description of the solution proposed for the irradiation of biological samples and some preliminary results.
