Description

Since 2019, the SPIRAL2 SC linear accelerator at GANIL (Grand Accélérateur National d’Ions Lourds) produces pulsed to CW ion beams from A/Q=1 to 3.
Beam time during the last 4 years was mainly dedicated to experiments in the NFS room with D+ at energies from 1 to 40 MeV, frequently using the bunch selector allowing neutron time-of-flight measurements.
Part of the beam time was also used to prepare the linac for the S3 experimental room commissioning accelerating heavy ions up to A/Q=3 from 0.75 to 14.5 MeV/A.
This paper presents the beam time sharing over the four years of operation.
