Abstract
The Gent University 15 MeV 20 kW linear electron accelerator facility was initially designed for fundamental nuclear physics research. Durin g the last years a large effort has been devoted to the expansion of t he range of machine applications in view of a new extensive experiment al programme in the fields of atomic and solid-state physics, biomater ials research, polymer chemistry, space research, food technology, hig h-dose dosimetry and radiation therapy. The accelerator facility in it s present configuration, the peripheral equipment and the experimental programme are described with emphasis on the original features.
