The #HEARTS ❤️ project provides two new radiation-testing facilities for space applications, one at #CERN and one at #GSI in Germany.

Funded by the European Commission, HEARTS provides accelerated heavy ion beams in a laboratory setting, such that radiation effects in electronics, biological samples and shielding materials can be studied on Earth before embarking on a #space mission.

Recently, HEARTS welcomed the installation of a new LET booster in the CHARM facility at CERN that can modify the energy of the beam impacting a test sample by placing one or more plastic plates in the beam.
