Abstract
A new nuclear microprobe has been constructed at the Van de Graaff accelerator (HVEC, KN-3000) in the Institute of Nuclear Physics in Cracow. The focusing system is based on two doublets of magnetic quadrupole lenses forming a `Divided Russian Quadruplet' geometry. Numerical calculations of the ion optics are published elsewhere. In the present work details of the design are shown and the first experimental results are compared with the theoretical expectations. The advantage of the described construction is a short total length of the microprobe of 230 cm. A so short microprobe may be very convenient in some application to biophysics where a vertical position of the beam line is preferable...
