Accelerators, Injectors and Ion Sources

For research with fast ion beams our division is using particle accelerators which to great extent have been developed and built in house. The Heidelberg Accelerator complex consists of a flexible system of five different particle accelerators:

These accelerators can be operated independently or in a coupled mode in order to generate particle beams with energies and charge states as required for precision experiments in the cooler storage ring or single pass beam lines.

Using electrostatic DC technology or normal conducting rf accelerator resonators a wide variety of energetic particle beams with tailor made properties can be provided:

  • Positive or negative ions
  • Singly charged molecular ions
  • Highly charged atomic ion beams using gas- or foil-stripping at different locations
  • DC beams or pulsed beams
  • The 1.5 Tm Synchrotron Storage Ring TSR
  • Flexible time structure from msec to psec pulse length and/or repetition periods

Numerous standard or specially developed Ion Sources are available and can be operated at different accelerators to provide almost every type of ion species. Ongoing efforts to develop unusual beams - especially from molecular ions - are made to support various experiments with the storage ring.
