SuperHILAC user's handbook
The SuperHILAC is a national facility which sustains a vigorous program in heavy ion reactions, nuclear structure studies, heavy element research, biological studies and space sciences. The machine was completely rebuilt in 1971 after 15 years of heavy ion service as the HILAC. It is now designed to accelerate all ions through uranium to a maximum energy of 8.5 MeV per nucleon. With two injectors and recently installed computer control, the SuperHILAC can provide experimenters with two distinct ion beams, at different energies, on alternate injection pulses. In addition, one of the 36 pulses per second can be directed to the Bevalac transferline for injection into the Bevatron. The planned third SuperHILAC injector will further extend this versatility with high intensity heavy ion beams of low charge to mass ratios. A handbook is presented which was created to aid experimenters in using the SuperHILAC and its related research facilities. It contains administrative information, a description of the SuperHILAC system, operational data and computer and electronic support references.
