CERN rf separator

JUN 01, 1965

Physics Today

A radiofrequency beam separator, which produces a beam of $10− BeV /c$ negative kaons, is now operating at CERN in conjunction with the 28‐BeV proton synchrotron. The new installation is the first to use radiofrequency electromagnetic fields as a method of separating beams at such high energies. A separator of the same type is under construction at Brookhaven, and related types are being built at Dubna, Stanford, and Orsay.
