Abstract
The LNL XTU tandem is in routine operation since 1982 with accelerating voltages up to ∼ 14 MV. A very large variety of beams has been accelerated from proton to bromine; more than 70% of the research program has been done with beams with A > 12 (typically Si, S). In 1984 the generator has been at voltage for about 60% of the total time. No major failures have occurred in these basic components with exception of the laddertron charging system which broke in several point in the fall of 1983 after ∼ 1000 h of operation and was rebuilt successfully at LNL, with the supervision of one HVEC field engineer. The present laddertron has been in operation for ∼ 9000 h. In general the reliability of the system is good and an intensive nuclear physics research program is in progress.
