Abstract
Various demands imposed by use of different techniques and research ac tivities at the Department of Nuclear Physics and Technology (RBS, PIX E, Ion Beam Modification, etc.) resulted in the necessity of using a w ide range of ion beam energies. An original 300 kV linear electrostati c open air accelerator has been modified to increase the maximum obtai nable energy. Necessary ion beam transport computations were performed to evaluate and optimise the optical properties of the accelerator tu be. A special nonhomogeneous potential distribution was found which al lows application of high voltage within the range 50-900 kV. Informati on on the present state of the accelerator capabilities as well as a b rief description of the experimental instrumentation and projects solv ed is given.
