Benefiting the lives of millions of people around the world every day. Radiation processing is routinely used in a vast array of applications.

New Publication – Low Energy Electron Beam Factsheet

Low energy electron beams (LEEB), typically between 300 and 800 keV, have been used for many years to modify surface properties and decontaminate surfaces. Their low penetration depth allows for precise surface treatment without affecting underlying layers, and the compact, self-shielding accelerators can be mounted...
