Abstract A heavy ion accelerator on the basis of the multiple-stage operation of a small tandem-generator is proposed. The ions will be accelerated in the first half of the tandem in a charge state equilibrated in a foil stripper and then slowed down in the second half of the tandem in a charge state equilibrated in a gas atmosphere where the average charge is much lower than in a solid. One passage through the tandem results in a gain of energy of (Z solid-Z gas)·eU MeV. The gain expected for the acceleration of iodine ions will be of the order of 4 MeV for potentials at the high voltage electrode of about 1 MV. The application of many of these systems in line or the application of a magnet system bending the ions many times through the same electric field and stripper will allow to accelerate very heavy ions up to energies of about 1000 MeV. The transmission of this accelerator as a function of scattering, solid angle and final particle energy is estimated.
