The AGOR Cyclotron

Welcome to the AGOR cyclotron home page. AGOR (Accelerateur Groningen-ORsay) is the result of the cooperation between the KVI, Groningen, and the IPN, Orsay. Its design was a joint effort of both the institues; building took place in France. After testing it was disassembled and moved to the Netherlands.

Since the beginning of 1996, AGOR has produced beams for experimental use. The Facility pages aim to inform you about the cyclotron itself, its specifications and operating diagramme, and the various beams produced up until now. Furthermore, we have included some reports produced by the cyclotron group, pictures, as well as our favourite accelerator related links.

Research experiments at the AGOR facility generally need to be approved by the KVI programme advisory committee.

In addition the AGOR group has activities in the area of Irradiations with the AGORFIRM facility, an in-air beamline dedicated to irradiation of samples with high energy beams.
