Micro-Ion Beam Accelerator at QSEC of Kyoto University

Abstract

Brief introduction is given of the new accelerator installed this March at the Quantum Science and Engineering Center (QSEC) of Kyoto University. The tandem type accelerator (6SDH-2, NEC, USA) has the maximum terminal voltage of 2 MV and is capable of delivering energies of 2(q+1) [MeV] for ions with charge state q. Chief specification of the machine and the aim of research & education are described. Historical role of the accelerator laboratory of QSEC and the budget strategy network of universities are also introduced.
