Heavy ion accelerators of the future

Accelerators for nuclear physics

“…The old hilac was shut down in early 1971 to start the conversion. The Superhilac is Another hilac under construction is the UNILAC near Darmstadt, Germany (Blasche et al 1970), (Blann 1971). This is being built by the Gesellschaft fur Schwerionenforschung (GSI), with the design being done in Heidelberg.…”

“…One can use two stages of the same type of accelerator, as in the multistage electrostatic accelerators like HILAB, or two cyclotrons at Dubna, or two-stage linacs like the superhilac or UNILAC; or one can combine accelerators of different types in a hybrid system like the Orsay ALICE project. Many proposals have come forward in the past several years, and have been summarized by Martin (1971a), Livingston (1970), Livingston and Martin (1971), Purser (1971), Blann (1971 There is also interest in Europe at the Bohr Institute. With the current budget limitations in the USA the prospects are that possibly one of these many proposals will be approved for construction in the next few years, just as one 'meson factory' at Los Alamos was approved out of many proposals several years ago.…”

“…Or one can combine accelerators of different types in a hybrid system like the Orsay -90-Alice project. Many proposals have come forward in the past several years, and have been summarized by Martin (l971a), Livingston(1970),Livingston et al (1971),Purser (197la),Blann (1971) and others.A typical hybrid system proposal is that from Argonne National Laboratory, U.S.A., called the Midwest Tandem Cyclotron, "MTC"(Khoe et al 1971),(Morrison 1970).It is shown schematically in Figure 63. As shown on the right it is a TU tandem injecting into a six sector ring cyclotron.…”
