Bevatron/Bevalac

Technical Report · Mon Dec 31 23:00:00 EST 1973

OSTI ID:4141679

The operations and programs of the Bevatron/Bevalac facility are discussed. The Bevalac, a linking of the SuperHILAC to the Bevatron, was completed and was commissioned in August, 1974. Machine and facility improvements are described including: (1) the kaon beam facility; (2) the Bevatron Injector II; (3) cryopumping for the Bevatron vacuum tank; (4) beam extraction systems for heavy ions; (5) the Bevalac beam transport system; (6) polarized proton and deuteron beam feasibility studies; (7) the LBL-UCLA streamer chamber facility (target chamber); (8) improvements in the operational systems; (9) the testing of superconducting magnets on the Bevatron beam lines; (10) a digital control master oscillator for tracking the Bevatron rf; (11) high-voltage clearing electrodes installed in the Bevatron gap; (12) photomultiplier feedback resonant beam extraction; and (13) a multiwire-chamber monitoring system for the Bevatron/Bevalac.
