Abstract :
An electrostatic beam splitter was built at S. I. N. to provide simultaneously proton beams to the experimental physics area as well as to the medical pion therapy irradiation facility. Splitted beams of 100 and 16 ¿A respectively are typically produced with an overall beam loss of 0.5 ± 0.1%. Constructional details and operating experience are presented.
