1) 3-SDH
Tandem Accelerator From National Electrostatics Corporation
This accelerator was obtained
from CalTech and is being professionally installed by NEC this Fall.
Propeties:
| a) 1.0 MV Terminal Rating | b) Alphatross Gas Ion Source |
| c) RBS/Channeling Chamber | d) Beam Chopper For Beam Normalization |
| e) Performing NRA, PIXE, RBS, RFS, etc. | f) Oxygen Detection Using 3.04 MeV He++ |
2) AN-400
Vand de Graaff From HVEC
This accelerator was originally
at Georgetown University. It is rated at 400 kV but can achieve a terminal
potential of 600 kV using SF6 insulating gas. It's vacuum and energy control
system will eventually be upgraded and used for ion implantation, TOF-MEBS,
and HIBS.
Propeties:
| a) 400 kV Terminal Rating | b) High Current RF Gas Ion Source |
4) Building
The TSU accelerator facility
is located on the second floor of TSU's new $28,000,000 science building.
Data from the facility is connected to the Advanced Engineering Physics
Lab for teaching larger groups. The facility is also connected to a state-of-the-art
classroom for distance learning and video conferencing. The room provides
compressed video to other Texas A&M System Campuses over the Trans-Texas
Video Network (TTVN).
