Abstract

The Bucharest AMS facility has been in operation since 1998. We shortly present the performed experiments, the major upgrade of the AMS facility at NIPNE – Bucharest and the ongoing progress resulting since. We mounted a new ion source, of NEC 40 sample MC-SNCIS type and we reinforced the vacuum on the injector deck. Computer control on all parameters of the injector deck was implemented through a build-in-house electronic set-up. By converting the Tandem accelerator from a belt-driven charging system to a Pelletron and by introducing a modern GVM we have obtained a reduction of the fluctuations of the terminal voltage by at least two orders of magnitude.
