Status report on operation and upgrading of the Unilac
Abstract
A review is given on five years of operation of the Unilac heavy ion linear accelerator. Important developments of subsystems and their present status are described. The current upgrading, initiated mainly to increase the output energy to 20 MeV/u for the heaviest elements, includes also an extensive improvement program of existing equipment. The injector beam line is completely reconstructed in order to increase the radial acceptance by a factor of three, and, in addition, part of the control system is prepared for multibeam operation.
