Abstract
Modifications to the Princeton Particle Accelerator (PPA) such as pulsed heavy ion source, extended range radiofrequency system, vacuum system improvements, allowed the adaptation of the 3 GeV proton synchrotron to the acceleration of heavier ions. Accele ation of nitrogen ions in a charge state of N5+ and N6+ to an energy of 4 and 7 GeV were achieved starting in July 1971. Present average intensities run at about 3 x 105 and 2 x 105 particles/sec. Expectations for acceleration of neon and argon in the near future will be discussed.
