Linear Accelerator for Heavy Ions (open access)

Linear Accelerator for Heavy Ions

The following report discusses the construction of two heavy-ion linear accelerators, one at the the University of California Radiation Laboratory and the other at Yale University. The goal for these accelerators is to produce ions of masses up to that of neon with energies of 10 Mev per nucleon.
