Abstract :
The present nuclear physics program at the National Superconducting Cyclotron Laboratory (NSCL) is based on an ECR-ion-source-injected K1200 superconducting cyclotron. We propose to significantly increase the facility´s output intensity for light ions and energy for heavy ions by coupling the existing superconducting K500 cyclotron´s output to the K1200. The improved acceleration chain will consist of an ECR-ion-source injected K500 cyclotron to accelerate ions to ⩽17 MeV/nucleon followed by radial, charge-stripping injection into the K1200 for final acceleration to 100-200 MeV/nucleon
