With the LHC start up we had to learn how to operate powerful beams. The amount energy stored in LHC magnets and beams, and the potential damages produced by uncontrolled loss of this energy lead to the design of a very sophisticated interlock system. In addition the LHC is commissioned in steps of intensity and energy. We have to fulfill these vital tests before the nominal beams will collide...

In late 2006 a fully functional 1.7 MV Pelletron tandem accelerator was donated to the University of Jyväskylä by the Technical Research Center of Finland. At that time the accelerator had only one RF ion source and one beamline for RBS. After an extensive development period over past five years, the facility now contains three ion sources and four beamlines.
The two biggest changes inside...

The Tandem Van De Graaff accelerator (15MV) operating at LNS in Catania since early ‘80s, has been used in last years for accelerating ion beams, produced by means of the EXCYT facility at LNS. In order to guarantee an optimized beam injection of very low intensity radioactive beams (Ibeam > 104 pps), an efficient beam diagnostics has been developed in last years, mainly based on high...

The Tandetron, manifactured by High Voltage Engineering Europe, is a 3MV terminal voltage tandem accelerator conceived, from its initial design, for both Ion Beam Analysis and Accelerator Mass Spectrometry operations. Although IBA and AMS share the same track inside the machine, all the essential settings needed to the beam transport can be easily retrieved for both operating modes at any...
