    Progress Report on the Upgrades at ANU HIAF 30m
    
    This presentation will highlight recent upgrades and improvements on HIAF ANU comprising 15 MV 14UD electrostatic accelerator and 7 MV superconducting linac booster. A new techniques to diagnose issues with high-voltage components, low energy focus control and advanced linac tuning procedure, will be discussed. The main results of commissioning the first stage of AMS fast switching system will also be presented.

    The Accelerator Mass Spectrometry Systems at the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution 30m
    
    The National Ocean Sciences Accelerator Mass Spectrometry (NOSAMS) facility at the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution operates two accelerator systems. Both systems are used exclusively for ¹⁴C AMS. The first system utilizes a 3 MV tandetron accelerator originally built by the US-AMS Corporation, with several recent upgrades. Most recently, this system was upgraded with a 134-sample gas-accepting, hybrid sputter Cs ion source (MC-SNICS ) made by National Electrostatics Corporation (NEC). The other system is based on a 500 kV NEC Pelletron accelerator and incorporates both a 134-sample conventional graphite sputter source and a unique, gas-accepting, microwave ion source. Status and operational experiences with both accelerator systems will be presented.

    Status and Recent Upgrades of the Tandem Accelerator Facility at RBI Zagreb 20m
    
    The presentation will focus on the status of the Rudjer Boskovic Tandem Accelerator facility and its upgrades performed during the last decade. The facility consists of 6 MV EN Tandem and 1 MV Tandetron accelerators with a number of beam lines dedicated for ion beam analysis applications, material modification studies and nuclear physics experiments. One of the most important upgrades is the conversion of the accelerator controls from analog to digital home made based system. Sputtering ion sources have been installed at both accelerators, enabling acceleration of wide range of negative ion species. EN Tandem has been upgraded by introduction of the turbomolecular pumping system at the terminal, which significantly improved transmission of heavy ions through the system. Several new beam lines have been installed, including dual beam line that can deliver simultaneously ion beams from both accelerators to the same spot on a target. The ion microbeam end station has been upgraded from dublet to quintuplet configuration. First home made prototype of magnetic quadrupole triplet for ion microbeam applications has been designed, constructed and tested.
