Moscow Meson Factory

The Moscow Meson Factory situated at the city of Troitsk at a distance of 20km from Moscow comprises a linear accelerator of protons and H- ions with the energy 600 MeV and the beam current 0.5-1.0 mA, a complex for producing radionuclides for medicine and industry at beam extraction at 160 MeV, a neutron source complex and an experimental complex with a proton storage ring with pulsating extraction, channels of high (momenta 200-500 MeV/c) and low energy pions and muon channels.
