  Siemens has proposed a novel compact DC electrostatic tandem accelerator to produce protons of a few MeV. Siemens is currently building a prototype of the accelerator at the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory. This paper reports on recent progress on the different components of the system as well as the commissioning of the whole machine.

  Siemens has proposed a novel compact DC electrostatic tandem accelerator to produce protons of a few MeV and is currently commissioning a prototype at the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory. The geometry of the accelerator involves large surfaces which are exposed to high electric fields and therefore need long procedures for conditioning. An automated system for conditioning has been developed. It reacts quicker to breakdowns than a human operator could do, thus being more effective and also reduces the time spent by research staff on the conditioning.
