IBA (Ion Beam Applications SA) is a medical technology company based in Louvain-la-Neuve. The company was founded in 1986 by Yves Jongen within the Cyclotron Research Center of the University of Louvain (UCLouvain) and became a university spin-off. It employs about 1500 people in 40 locations. [1]
The installation of cyclotrons from GE HealthCare and IBA (Ion Beam Applications S.A.), along with proprietary solid targets, establishes TMS Brussels South as a major nuclear medicine production facility, which will serve as the Company’s primary manufacturing site for the Europe Middle East and Africa (EMEA) region and beyond.
The basic layout of an ion beam apparatus is an accelerator which produces an ion beam that is feed through an evacuated beam-transport tube to a beam handling device. This device isolates the ion species and charge of interest which then are transported through an evacuated beam-transport tube into the target chamber.
A small ion beam rocket being tested by NASA. An ion beam is a beam of ions, a type of charged particle beam. Ion beams have many uses in electronics manufacturing (principally ion implantation) and other industries. There are many ion beam sources, some derived from the mercury vapor thrusters developed by NASA in the 1960s. The most widely ...
The eastern tower, located in front of the headquarters of Ion Beam Applications, goes lower than the North Tower, with only three floors. It also houses multiple services, both in the domains of physics and of entrepreneurship & business management, projects associated with the Louvain School of Management :
MacUpdate has offered several "bundles" offering Mac software at a discounted price. [2] [3] [4] The company offered an application called MacUpdate Desktop ($20/year with a 10 day trial) which automatically downloaded and installed updates to other installed applications on a user's Mac. [5] MacUpdate Desktop has since been discontinued. [6]
As the input parameters, it needs the ion type and energy (in the range 10 eV – 2 GeV) and the material of one or several target layers. As the output, it lists or plots the three-dimensional distribution of the ions in the solid and its parameters, such as penetration depth, its spread along the ion beam (called straggle) and perpendicular to it, all target atom cascades in the target are ...
While generally less damaging than monotomic sputtering, gas cluster ion sputtering can nevertheless introduce damage that is very noticeable in some materials. [14] A related technique, with a limited range of applications, using high-velocity carbon Fullerenes to treat surfaces, has been studied. [citation needed]
