Description

Beams of C+2-C+8 clusters have been accelerated to 3 MeV in our 1.7 MV tandem accelerator without any modification of the machine. The beam intensity of the smaller C-cluster is large enough for some physics experiments. The change of charge from C-cluster negative ions to positive ions was achieved by collisions with N2 molecules in a gas cell at the high voltage terminal. The gas density in the stripper cell is an important parameter for obtaining maximum Cm+ cluster beam. ((orig.))
