Shepard, K W

Work on rf superconductivity at Argonne National Laboratory has, for the past twelve years, focussed on the development of superconducting structures for acceleration of heavy-ions. This work has resulted in the development of several niobium split-ring resonators for the acceleration of particles of velocity .04 < v/c < .2c, construction and operation since 1979 of a superconducting booster linac based on these resonators, and currently, the expansion of the booster into the Argonne tandem-linac accelerating system (ATLAS) - a national facility for nuclear structure research. We first give a brief description of the resonators developed for the Argonne superconducting heavy-ion linac. This is followed by a description of the accelerator facility and its operational characteristics. Finally, current resonator development is discussed, together with implications for future upgrading of the ATLAS facility. 12 references, 6 figures, 1 table.
