A Fast-Spinning Stripper MOD II for the Zero Gradient Synchrotron (ZGS) Booster

Abstract

The use of H- negatively charged particles during injection into the ZGS booster requires the use of a stripping media to convert the particles to H+ for acceleration in the normal manner. This process of stripping is accomplished with the use of thin plastic foils placed in and out of the acceleration orbit with the use of a unique and novel mechanism.
