About
Yusuf Orhan is a leading figure in radiation effects testing and proton irradiation infrastructure, with his work centered on the development and deployment of the METU Defocusing Beamline (METU-DBL). His primary research areas include high-energy proton irradiation for space electronics, nuclear materials research, and high-luminosity accelerator upgrades. Orhan’s major contribution is the design and commissioning of a 15–30 MeV proton irradiation facility at the TAEA SANAEM Proton Accelerator Facility, which provides a critical testing ground for electronic components destined for satellites, spacecraft, and the Hi-Lumi LHC upgrade. His most-cited paper, “METU-Defocusing Beamline: A 15-30 MeV Proton Irradiation Facility and Beam Measurement System” (2020, 8 citations), details the beamline’s capabilities and measurement systems, while his 2019 paper (3 citations) describes its installation for space radiation tests. Though citation counts are modest, the impact is significant: the METU-DBL fills a vital niche in radiation testing infrastructure, enabling researchers to qualify devices against the harsh radiation environments of space and particle accelerators. Orhan’s work is foundational for advancing the reliability of electronics in extreme conditions.
