Description

An injector system has been constructed to provide heavy ion beams for the CERN accelerators. In the initial step, an ECR (electron cyclotron resonance) source produces on O6+ ion beam, which is accelerated in an RFQ (radiofrequency quadrupole) structure from 5.6 keV/u to 139.5 keV/u. The specifications of this preaccelerator are described and results of test measurements at GSI are presented, as well as first experience at CERN. Oxygen ions have been accelerated in the CERN machines to 200 GeV/u. An upgrading program for the acceleration of sulphur or calcium is presented. (orig.)
