## EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

During the fall of 2007, a series of radiobiological and physics
experiments were performed using the proton and heavy ion beams
available at the NASA Space Radiation Laboratory (NSRL). These
experiments were part of the fourteenth NSRL scientific run (NSRL-07C)
sponsored by NASA's Space Radiation Health Program (SRHP) heavy ion
radiobiology research program at BNL.

A total of forty-one proposals were approved for participation in the
NSRL-07C run in which one did not participate. One hundred and sixty
seven users from thirty-two institutions were represented, all from the
United States. There was no foreign representation this run. More than
4600 biological samples were exposed at the NSRL beam line, employing
263:03 hours of beam time (72:41 hours for in vivo studies, 148:20 hours
for in vitro studies, and 42:02 hours for physics experiments) delivered
in a six week period. In addition, 24:36 hours were used for dosimetry
and beam development. Machine set-up took a total of 108:51 hours, and
20:30 hours for wrap-up of the beam. Accelerator problems with the NSRL
beam accounted for 62:47 hours lost. This gave a total NSRL usage time
of 479:47 hours. Since we were not running concurrently with RHIC, there
was no time lost while due to RHIC. As a byproduct of this, all
accelerator down-time counted towards the NSRL total.

During NSRL-07C, Booster provided protons (100, 150, 200, 250, 500, and
1000 MeV), oxygen (300 and 1000 MeV/n), silicon (300, 600, and 1000
MeV/n), iron (150, 300, 600, and 1000 MeV/n) and sequential fields of
protons and iron (1000 MeV/n) beams for biology and physics experiments.
Experimenters are becoming more interested in studying the effects of
low doses and low dose rates. For this reason, our attention has been on
developing stable low fluence beams with the same dosimetry capability
of the higher intensity beam. The maximum dose rates used for biology
experiments were as high as 7.5 Gray/min (Fe 1000 MeV/n). The general
spill rate employed was 15 spills per minute with durations of 300
msec/spill. The spill fluence range was (particles/spill) from 1.5 x
10^11^ (max) and 2 x 10^2^ (min). Square beam spots as big as 20 x 20
cm^2^ and as small as 1 x 1 cm^2^ were employed for biology and physics
experiments.

Tandem-Booster set-up started on 31 August 2007 with the transport and
circulation of Silicon beams at the NSRL complex. Beam was tuned into
the target cave on 5 September 2007 and 300 MeV/n Si beams were
available for tuning at 7:00 AM 5 September 2007. NSRL-07C officially
ended at 1:58 PM 26 October 2007.

## DOSIMETRY AND BEAM DEVELOPMENTS

**New Beams:**

During NSRL 07C the flowing beams were developed and used for the first
time:

Protons at 100, and 150 MeV,

Oxygen at 300 MeV/n and

Iron at 150 MeV/n.
