Abstract
The energy of the GANIL cyclotron beam was measured on-line during the Pb-208 + Pb-208 elastic scattering experiment ''Search for Color van der Waals Force in the Pb-208 + Pb-208 Mott scattering'' with an absol ute precision of 7 x 10(-5) at approximately 1.0 GeV, which represents an improvement of one order of magnitude over previous absolute energ y measurements. The energy was deduced from the time of flight between two beam-scanners, which only partially intercept the beam, situated on a straight line and separated by approximately 48.0 m. It was found that the nominal beam energy was in good agreement with the present r esults.
