  • Abstract
    The Argonne FN tandem now uses Pelletron chains for its charging system and a closed corona system for the voltage distribution along the column. This change has improved the stability of machine operation significantly. The maximum voltage on the terminal is now 9.8 MV compared to 8.6 MV attainable previously in normal operation. The voltage fluctuations in the terminal have decreased by an order of magnitude.
