Preliminary comparison of MP sparking characteristics for SF/sub 6/ insulating gas mixtures and pure SF/sub 6/

Conference ·
OSTI ID:6474935
Operation of the Brookhaven MP-7 tandem Van de Graaff accelerator with pure SF/sub 6/ insulating gas is described. Sparking and terminal voltage were monitored and are compared for operation with a mixture of SF/sub 6/, N/sub 2/, CO/sub 2/ and O/sub 2/. The accelerator was found to be more difficult to operate with pure SF/sub 6/. (GHT)
