A New Beam Transport Channel for the ТИЛp-1 Accelerator

摘要

Abstract-A new beam transport channel was created on the ТИЛp-1 accelerator at the Institute for Theoretical and Experimental Physics to study interactions between charged particles with an energy of 0.1 MeVucleon and matter with different aggregate states. The channel was designed for ion beams with specific weights as great as 35 au. It is composed of a transport line for an accelerated ion beam, three quadrupole lenses, the object of investigation (a gas, plasma, or foil sample), and a beam diagnostic system. The energy losses of doubly charged copper ions (Cu{sup}(2+)) accelerated to 0.1 MeVucleon in gases were measured for first time in the spring of 2004.
