[TRIUMF Seminars]

Date/Time: Wed 2011-10-05 at 14:00

Location:  ISAC II Conf. Rm.   

Speaker:   Nikolai Lobanov (Nuclear Physics Department, RSPE, Australian National University)

Title:     Report on Heavy Ion Accelerator Facility upgrade at the Australian National University

Abstract: This past year has seen substantial expenditure on upgrades and the
hiring of three more technical staff. I will report on the major upgrade
projects and give more detail on selected projects. Here, I will just
list the topics: (1) new accelerator computer control and data
acquisition systems;  (2) replacement vacuum pumps,  gauges, major magnet
power supplies by modern systems. Integration with new computer control;
(3) automated tuning of the beam transport, fully equipping with BPMs and
Faraday Cups allowing optimal beam focusing;  (4) new Terminal Potential
Stabilisation system including Generating Volt Meter, Slits and CPO
amplifiers and corona probe controller;  (5) topping up SF6 gas to allow
optimum tank pressure and upgrade SF6 monitoring system. New fast SF6
containment valves;  (6) implementation oxygen depletion monitoring
system to make safer cryogenic operations and SF6 handling;  (7)
enhancement AMS and RIB  capabilities and new beam lines; (8) enhancement
Linac and its cryogenic system; (9) upgrade low and high energy beam
pulsing systems. I will also give a brief overview of accelerator
facilities and collaborations in Australia.

Stimulants available 15 minutes before the talk.
