Ion acceleration in the CERN Linac 1

  • 1. CERN, Geneva, Switzerland

Description

Ion acceleration at CERN already has a long history but had been limited in the past to deuterons and alpha-particles apart from the usual proton (or H-) beams. A review on these activities is given. Over the last years the possibilities were discussed to accelerate even heavier ions and detailed plans were worked out for an oxygen injector for Linac 1 by a GSI-LBL-CERN collaboration. The scheme, including the combination of two injectors which allow independent injection of protons, H- or oxygen ions using two radio-frequency quadrupoles, is discussed. The progress concerning oxygen ion acceleration is presented together with first results
