Center for Radiation Chemistry Research (CRCR) exploits pulse
radiolysis techniques to study chemical reactions (and other
phenomena) by subjecting samples to pulses of high-energy
electrons. The reactions are followed by various methods of
time-resolved spectroscopy and other detection techniques. The
CRCR includes the new picosecond Laser-Electron Accelerator
Facility (LEAF), a 2 MeV Van de Graaff, and a cobalt-60 source.
User access to CRCR facilities is encouraged, either through
collaboration with BNL staff or via the BNL Center for
Functional Nanomaterials (CFN) User Program. Please contact one
