Atomic physics with highly charged ions. Progress report, September 1, 1994--August 31, 1995
Grant DE-FG02-94ER14444 was obtained from the FY94 ARIM fund account of Energy Research. These funds were requested to address several upgrades of the Macdonald Laboratory facility. The largest item is the relocation and upgrade of the He compressor associated with providing LHe to the Nb split-ring superconducting LINAC accelerator and the superconducting CRYEBIS ion source. The move is prompted by the need to reduce the noise and vibration levels in the personnel working space in the laboratory. Several other issues related to the relocation are being addressed at the same time, such as additional electrical service and overhead crane for compressor maintenance. The Ion-Compressor Relocation Project consists of six major components. All necessary planning and engineering are completed. Many of the upgrades consist of obtaining commercially available items which are being installed by our local staff in the Macdonald Laboratory. No unexpected complications stand in the way of completing all projects within the scope, budget and time frame of the project. Of the project`s major components, the tandem resistor upgrade, tandem foil stripper upgrade, and LINAC upgrade are all complete, the CRYEBIS upgrade is partially completed and on schedule, the LHe compressor upgrade is in the early stages of development and is on schedule, and the RF electronics upgrade is in progress. (The LINAC upgrade replaces the beam scanner item.)
