  • Abstract
    A program, IONSCAN, which analyzes all possible charge-state combinations within the design limits of the Tandem Accelerator Superconducting Cyclotron (TASCC) facility at Chalk River, Ontario, Canada, has been developed. The selection of the optimum charge-states is essential for the successful operation of the two accelerators. IONSCAN also calculates other machine parameters, for selected charge-state combinations, and pinpoints possible difficulties. The structure of the program is described, the calculated parameters are discussed, and an example is given.<>
