Superconducting heavy-ion boosters are limited in their mass range by the velocity acceptance of the resonators in their first sections. a need has arisen to do nuclear physics in mass ranges inaccessible with existing accelerating structures. the end product that would result from this research is… More

Rf superconductivity has been very successfully applied to heavy-ion accelerators. however, to increase the capabilityof existing acceleratino facilities to higher energies, new accelerating structures optimized for fast ions will have tocome into existence. we propose to determine a set of… More
