Abstract :
A versatile high-efficiency bunching system which is used to couple the Stony Brook 9 MV tandem Van de Graaff to the recently completed superconducting heavy-ion LINAC is described. The major elements of the system are: a pre-tandem double-drift harmonic buncher working at 9.4 and 18.8 MHz, a post-tandem sine-wave beam chopper at 4.7 MHz, a pre-LINAC superconducting double-drift harmonic buncher at 150 and 300 MHz and a high voltage DC-coupled single pulse selecting beam switch.
