Target Laboratory

This laboratory is one of the user support laboratories which provides facilities and necessary help to the user community for the preparation of thin films and targets required to perform experiments using the Pelletron, in the areas of Nuclear Physics, Atomic Physics, and Materials Science. More than 100 thin films and targets are prepared per year in this laboratory. Along with the preparation of targets, the laboratory also prepares 5 microgram/cm 2 thick, free-standing carbon foils used as a stripper for the 15UD Pelletron accelerator. Approximately 600-800 stripper foils are used in the Pelletron in a year...

Detector Laboratory

Detector Laboratory at Inter-University Accelerator Centre provides infrastructure & support for the development of radiation detectors for various research experiments. Considering the importance of heavy-ion nuclear reaction research at IUAC, special attention has been made to the development of low-energy heavy-ion detectors. These include low-pressure multiwire proportional chambers, ionization detectors, and silicon strip detectors. The laboratory is involved in research & development of multi-channel readout electronics for strip detectors, fast timing pre-amplifiers, and pulse shaping amplifiers...

Cryogenics

A heavy-ion Rf-superconducting LINAC booster project for the 15UD Pelletron accelerator is near completion at Nuclear Science Centre. The acceleration would be performed with several superconducting quarter-wave resonators made of niobium which has a critical temperature of 9.2K. Therefore, the resonators have to be cooled below their critical temperature to make operational, hence requiring liquid helium [4.2K] and associated cryogenic system. The Superconducting Linac consists of one Buncher cryostat, three Linac cryostats, and a Rebuncher cryostat. Liquid Helium is produced by the LHe plant and transfers the liquid to the cryostats through the distribution line...

Vacuum Laboratory

High Vacuum Laboratory is primarily responsible for maintaining the vacuum, vacuum systems, and diagnostic devices in the beamlines and experimental facilities. There are about 600 instruments (pumps, gauges, valves, diagnostic BPM, Faraday cups, device controllers, etc.) installed and running in different places. Faulty instruments are replaced with available spares to reduce downtime.

Beam Transport System

Beam Transport System (BTS) Group is responsible for the design, fabrication, installation, and maintenance of magnet power supplies and other BTS-associated instruments. To achieve a high uptime of BTS, the group executes “Yearly Scheduled Preventive Maintenance” (YSPM) of BTS instruments of all the accelerator facilities at IUAC. Additionally, the BTS group also performs preventive maintenance and repair of detector bias high voltage power supplies in use at different experimental facilities.

Data Support Laboratory

Data Support Laboratory (DSL) at Inter-University Accelerator Centre provides support to users for Data Acquisition and NIM electronics set up at Data Room. The lab has got a pool of NIM and CAMAC resources that can be issued to users for setting up the experiments. Data Acquisition at NSC is based on CAMAC based standard system running on Linux OS. The system uses a low-cost homemade crate controller and PC interface card. Two DAQ stations in the data room can be used to collect data from the experimental setup of different beamlines. The system called DAS1 and DAS2 is located at two sides of the data room (room 112) where patch panels from HIRA and GPSC beamlines are terminated...
