Abstract

A continuous flow conductivity device has been developed to allow on-line monitoring of the concentration of breakdown products in the insulating gas (SF6) of an electrostatic accelerator. Evaluations of various absorbent materials were also performed using the device.

A series of measurements with the ANU 14UD accelerator for various operating conditions is described. The study provides a basis for much improved operating procedures of the recirculation systems of large accelerators.
