TANDEM VAN DE GRAAFF ACCELERATOR

A High Voltage Engineering Corporation Model FN purchased in 1966 with NSF funds; operation funded primarily by the U.S. Department of Energy. See W.G. Weitkamp and F.H. Schmidt, "The University of Washington Three Stage Van de Graaff Accelerator," Nucl. Instrum. Meth. 122, 65 (1974).

* Negative ion is the hydride, dihydride, or trihydride.

Additional ion species available include the following: Mg, Al, Si, P, S, Cl, Fe, Cu, Ge, Se, Br and Ag. Less common isotopes are generated from enriched material.
In addition we are now producing a separated beam of 8B at 6 particles/second.
