Abstract
The reconstruction of a system of ring-shaped accelerators has been completed at the Institute of Theoretical and Experimental Physics: carbon nuclei have been accelerated in the U-10 synchrotron up to maximum energy 4 GeV/amu C ions from a laser ion source are preaccelerated in the I-3 linear injector up to 1.5 MeV/amu and in the UK booster synchrotron up to 50 MeV/amu, injected via the charge-transfer scheme C → C into the U-10 synchrotron on an increasing magnetic field and accelerated to maximum energy. The basic technological features of the acceleration scheme employed and the results of the first physical experiment with relativistic carbon nuclei are described.
