Tour the Tandem Van de Graaff
Tour Date: Thursday, September 11, 2025
Facility Description
The Tandem Van de Graaff Facility consists of two 15-megavolt electrostatic accelerators capable of delivering continuous, or high-intensity pulsed ion beams in a wide range of ion species at various energies to experimental chambers that are available to researchers on a full cost-recovery basis.
Traditionally used for industrial and space-related applications, the Tandem Van de Graaff's (TVDG) rapid energy and ion changes, well-controlled intensities, high-quality beams, and extraordinary reliability make this a very versatile and productive experimental tool that enables research to be conducted with high precision and with great detail.
