Olson, D K

The traveler attended the CERN Accelerator School and Daresbury Laboratory course on Synchrotron Radiation and Free Electron Lasers held at Chester College, Chester, England, from April 6 to 13, 1989. The course, attended by 89 people, was well conceived, well presented, and informative. Almost all aspects of accelerator-based light sources were discussed. The traveler also visited the Nuclear Structure Facility at Daresbury Laboratory, Daresbury, England. The tandem accelerator of the Nuclear Structure Facility runs routinely between 18 and 19 MV and, with difficulty, between 19 and 20 MV. Installation of the Oxford post-tandem superconducting rf cavities is nearly complete. These cavities will increase the effective accelerating potential by about 6 MV. In addition, Daresbury plans to add another 6 MV of superconducting rf cavities. When complete, the Daresbury tandem facility should be able, with three foil strippings, to accelerate lead to 5 MeV/nucleon.
