Update on the IBA activities in Bonn — •Henry Schumacher, Dennis Sauerland, and Sebastian Neubert — Helmholtz-Institut für Strahlen und Kernphysik, Universität Bonn

The Bonn Isochronous Cyclotron can accelerate protons, deuterons and light ions with nominal energies of 7 to 14 MeV/nucleon. At one of the five beam lines, a new experimental site for material analysis is in development.
This new experiment will house a small number of surface barrier detector for RBS (backwards direction) and beam characterization (off-axis, foward direction) as well as a silicon drift detector for PIXE measurements and utilize a low energy alpha particle beam.
In this talk, a general overview over the setup and progress, preliminary detector tests, count rate estimations and preparatory measurements will be presented.
