The folded tandem ion accelerator (FOTIA) facility set up at BARC has become operational. At present, it is used for elemental analysis studies using the Rutherford backscattering technique. The beams of 1 H, 7 Li, 12 C, 16 O and 19 F have been accelerated up to terminal voltages of about 3 MV and are available for experiments. The terminal voltage is stable within ¦2 kV. In this paper, present status of the FOTIA and future plans are discussed.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
