E809_20 : Investigation of the response of solar cells to heavy ions at energies close to 10 A MeV

E809_20 : The purpose of the experiment was to investigate in detail the response of solar cells as a function of the beam energy at about 100 pps and their radiation resistance at intensities as high as 10^5 pps. 84Kr beams produced by the SPIRAL charge booster and delivered by the CIME cyclotron at 5, 10 and 15 A MeV were used. The experiment was performed in the framework of the ERC-Advanced grant NECTAR (Nuclear rEaCTions At storage Rings).
