Deuteron acceleration in the CERN 50 MeV Linac was tried 13 years ago, followed by programmed acceleration in the CPS up to about 100 MeV. The construction of a new proton Linac injector prompted studies to investigate the feasibility of using the old Linac to supply other particles to the CPS. As part of this study program, deuteron acceleration in the CPS was tried again. The tests were immediately successful in that deuterons could readily be accelerated, transferred and stacked in the ISR where several runs of pd and dd collisions were scheduled in 1976. On one occasion alpha particles were also successfully accelerated in the CPS to 40 GeV.
