The New Van de Graaff Terminal for VICKSI

A heavy-ion terminal for the CN-Van de Graaff as the injector of the VICKSI accelerator combination has been developed and tested. Beams of all kinds of ion species with the mass numbers of up to about 40 and charge states of 1⁺, 2⁺, and 3⁺ will be produced and transported, properly matched, to the acceleration tube of the Van de Graaff; average beam currents out of the Van de Graaff are anticipated to rate up to 20 μA.
