Status of the VICKSI Heavy Ion Accelerator

Abstract
The heavy ion accelerator combination VICKSI being built at the Hahn-Meitner-Institute in Berlin consists of a 6-MV Van de Graaff accelerator as injector into a 4 sector cyclotron with a mass energy product of 100. The primary design aim of this accelerator combination is 200 MeV for Carbon to Argon ions. The Van de Graaff including ion source and high voltage terminal is undergoing major reconstruction. The beam matching and transport system between the two accelerators comprising a stripper and two bunchers has been designed. The components for this system have been or will be ordered until March 1975. The cyclotron is being built by Scanditronix/Sweden. The four sector magnets will be assembled at Scanditronix for final shimming and field mapping. The RF-system is under test with low power. The new building for the cyclotron is completed except for interior work. The anticipated date for first beam injection into the cyclotron is November 1976.
