Abstract
The RBS experimental set-up has been working in every accelerator session of the U-70 accelerator complex since 2015. The main users of the set-up are radiobiologists and physicians. The direction of research is radiobiological experiments with extracted beams of accelerated carbon ions and preclinical studies aimed at the development of domestic methods of ion therapy. The requirements for irradiation of samples with carbon ions are very high: irradiation uniformity is no worse than 95%, positioning accuracy is no worse than 0.1 mm, dose delivery accuracy is no worse than ±2.5%. The article describes the instruments and devices that are used to support radiobiological experiments at the RBS installation: a plane-parallel ionization chamber, a mosaic ionization chamber, a water phantom with a 3D movement system, a 6-axis table, a degrader, a laser positioning system, clinical dosimeters. Programs for working with this equipment and archiving the data obtained are described.
