Abstract :
The assembly of the accelerator combination VICKSI is essentially completed. Six different ions have been accelerated to 15 different energies during the running in and acceptance period. The tests have shown that all essential beam specifications are fulfilled. 1160 hours of beam time for experiments have been scheduled since March of this year. About 60% of that time the beam was actually available. Training of operators, a higher degree of automatic tune up, and finishing the beam transport system to the target areas will be the main task for the coming year.
