Vacuum system control for the heavy ion transport line

  • 1. AGS Dept., Brookhaven National Lab., Associated Universities, Inc., Upton, NY

Description

The Brookhaven AGS, 807 m in circumference, and the Tandem Van de Graaff are now joined together by a transport line, 600 m in length. This now allows heavy ions from the Tandem, up to fully stripped sulfur (M=32) to be transported into the AGS and accelerated to 15 GeV/A. With the addition of a booster between the Tandem and the AGS in the near future, heavy ions such as gold (M=200) can be accelerated to 30 Z/A GeV/A. This paper describes the HITL (heavy Ion Transport Line) vacuum control system design and implementation
