HK 42: Instrumentation and Applications V

HK 42.1: Group Report

The AGOR facility — •S. Brandenburg, W. van Asselt, J.P.M. Beijers, H.R. Kremers, T. Nijboer, H. Post, and S. van der Veen — Kernfysisch Versneller Instituut, 9747 AA Groningen, the Netherlands

The heart of the AGOR facility at the KVI is a superconducting cyclotron, constructed by a collaboration of the KVI and the IPN, Orsay, France. The facility is operational since 1997 for some 4500 hours per year. The cyclotron can accelerate both light and heavy ions (e.g. protons up to 190 MeV, lead down to 6 MeV/nucleon). It is equipped with ion sources for polarized hydrogen, light and heavy ions.

The basic characteristics and performance of the facility will be described. The design issues related to the wide range of ions and energies will be discussed. Furthermore attention will be given to new developments, such as the acceleration of low-intensity triton beams.
