THE CYCLOTRON IN REZ STARTED OPERATION
The first Czechosiovak cyclotron was put in operation at the Institute of Nuclear Research, Czechoslovak Academy of Sciences in Rez, on February 19, 1960. The cyclotron is capable of accelerating deuterons end nlpha particles to energies of up to 12,500,000 and 25,000,000 ev respectively. its magnet weighs 120 tons and its pole-shoes have a diameter of 120 cm. The maximum potential attainable between dees is 150,000 v. The high-frequency current is provided by a transmitter wtth a power comparable to that of the most powerful Czechoslovak radio transmitter. The defiector plate has a negative voltage of 70,000 v. The cyclotron accessories consist of water and power sources and highcapacity vacuum pumps. The cyclotron is cooled by displate has a negative voltage of 70,000 v. The cyclotron accessories consist of water and power sources and highcapacity vacuum pumps. The cyclotron is cooled by distilled water supplied by an electrically heated distilling station. It uses 7.5 m/sup 3/ of distilled water removing 500,000 cal/h. The entire distiiled-water equipment and piping is of stainless steel. The vacuum in the acceleration chamber, beam tubes and target room is obtained by prevacuuming pumps, and by diffusion vacuum pumps capable of increasing this vacuum to 10/sup -7/ mm of Hg. Power for the magnet and the high- frequency generator is provided by several rotary generators. The rooms housing cyclotron, extraction beam tube, and target have concrete walls 220 cm thick and heavy, double-walled steel-plate doors filled with aqueous borax solution. (auth)
