PSI-HIPA()
High Intensity Proton Accelerator
()
- Started: 1974,
- Still Running
The cyclotron facility contains a cascade of three accelerators that deliver a proton beam of 590 MeV energy at a current up to 2 mA (1.2 MW). The proton beam is pre-accelerated in a Cockcroft-Walton column to an energy of 870 keV and this is increased to 72 MeV in the 4-sector Injector 2 cyclotron. Final acceleration of the main beam to 590 MeV occurs in the large 8-sector Ring Cyclotron, from which the beam is transported through the experimental hall in a shielded tunnel.
