Accelerator Division annual report, January--December 1975

OSTI ID:7131378

A report is given of the accelerator operations and the advanced research and development programs of the Accelerator Division at Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory. The reorganization of July 1, 1975 expanded the Accelerator Division to include the SuperHILAC and the 184-inch Synchrocyclotron. The consolidation of these two accelerators with the Bevatron under one operational structure offers the opportunity to combine efforts on common goals and problems. The roles of the Bevatron and the SuperHILAC remain virtually unchanged; the 184-inch, on the other hand, has now been dedicated to sole use as a medical accelerator. The successful and reliable operation of the Bevalac in the latter half of the year was welcome testimony to the world's first production of high intensity, high energy heavy ion beams. Authorization and funding of PEP, the LBL-Stanford 15 GeV colliding beam machine, is tremendously rewarding. Design work has been concentrated on the magnet lattice and magnet models, and monitoring and control systems as well as other major aspects of the structure. Last year, too, work progressed on the Experimental Superconducting Accelerator Ring--ESCAR--which is to be built next to the Bevatron. The Superconducting Program made strides in its work, most of which has been directed toward developing the dipoles and superconducting cable for ESCAR. A separate abstract was prepared for each of six sections for Energy Research Abstracts (ERA).
