Abstract
The electrostatic beam separator in the EPICS channel at LAMPF is now nearly fully operational. Improvements to the high voltage transmission system and the electronic controls as well as a higher quality channel vacuum have allowed the unit to be operated at its design field strengths. The bias electrode has proven to be useful in reducing ion-exchange currents and associated electrode heating. The detachable shielding and other apparatus for removing the separator from the activated channel has been perfected and its application is described.
