Renovation of the electrostatic ion accelerator ESA-2 for solid state materials investigations by ion-beam techniques

The paper deals with the results on the renovation of the electrostatic ion accelerator ESA-2, being used for research in the field of ion-solid interaction physics, both fundamental and applied. Usage of electrostatic accelerators both in quality of implanter, and as a source of ions for conducting of investigations of solid-state materials by non-destructive control methods, such as, for example, the Rutherford backscattering spectroscopy is discussed.
