Status report on the folded tandem ion accelerator at BARC

Abstract

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.

Measurement of neutron capture cross section on 71Ga at 2.15 and 3.19 MeV and uncertainty propagation and covariance analysis*

“…Our experimental result at 2. 15 MeV is compared with the existing literature data and with those of EM-PIRE-3.2, TALYS-1.95, ENDF/B-VIII.0, and JEFF-3.1/A [7,8], while our result at 3.19 MeV is compared with those of EMPIRE-3.2, TALYS-1.95, ENDF/B-VIII.0, and JEFF-3.1/A, as there are no reported data available at this energy. The experiment was carried out at Bhabha Atomic Research Centre (BARC), Mumbai, and the Folded Tandem Ion Accelerator (FOTIA) facility was used for the production of the proton beam [9].…”

Measurement of L X-Ray Production Cross-Sections of Au, Ho, Bi and K-X-Ray Cross Sections of Nb, Sn, Sb by Using Protons of Energy 4 MeV

“…We present here the experimental method and the results of X-ray production cross sections measured with protons from the recently commissioned Folded Tandem Vandegraaff Accelerator (FOTIA) at BARC, Trombay, Mumbai [9,10].…”
