The Georgia PEAcH: A Portable Electrostatic Accelerator
POSTER
Abstract
In collaboration with the University of North Georgia, we
are constructing a portable electrostatic ion accelerator
at Georgia College. It will use a model 2JA066280 R.F. ion
source from National Electrostatics Corporation to produce
ions from gaseous elements and a model AU-100N1 100 kV
power supply to produce the accelerating voltage. The linear
accelerator is less than 2 meters in length. The beam
energy will be roughly determined by the acceleration voltage.
The accelerator will be tested
through measurements of the 17 MeV γ-ray
produced from the 7Li(p,γ)8Be reaction.
Low energy proton-induced fusion reactions are envisioned
for both pure and applied physics research.
