Description

The KOrea Multi-purpose Accelerator Complex (KOMAC) has provided high
energy proton beams since 2013 and low energy ion beams since 2015. In 2025,
the facility will begin radioisotope production and operate a high energy neutron
source, thereby the facility provides high energy protons and neutrons also
various low energy ion species. High energy beams are applied to atmospheric
and space radiation effects research, as well as the theranostic radioisotope
production such as Cu-67 and Ge-68, whereas low energy ion beams may be
explored for the development of low dimensional materials. Detection systems
include the Artificial Intelligence-based beam uniformity monitoring, pA level
measurement for ultra low flux ion beams, and complementary neutron detectors
that yield results comparable to leading international facilities. These capabilities
establish a versatile platform for both fundamental research and applied
technology, fostering international collaboration and industrial innovation. This
presentation introduces the current status of the facilities developed for diverse
purposes and describes the measurement systems employed in their operation.
