A 3 MV TANDETRON FACILITY AT KFUPM

A 3 MV General lonex Tandetron accelerator has recently been tested at the nearly established Energy Resarch Laboratory at the King Fand University of Petroleum and Minerals. The accelerator features a very stable solid-state power supply which delivers about 3 MV of terminal high voltage. A beam resolution of about 400 eV was measured. Ions of a wide range of masses, ranging from hydrogen to gold, were accelerated. The configuration of this Tandetron will be described along with a discussion of the facility and research programs. © 1990.
