Abstract
Starting late in 1974, many of the capabilities of TRIUMF have been explored. Beams of varying energies between 180 and 520 MeV have been extracted down beam line IV. Simultaneous beams of differing energies have been extracted down beam lines I and IV and the ratios between the intensities of the two beams have been varied in a controlled manner. Beam currents so far have been restricted to less than 300 nA in order to minimize induced activity, but a test run has been made at 48 μA current in a pulsed mode. The normal macroscopic duty factor is of course 100%; the microscopic duty factor is 12% — 5 ns pulses every 43 ns. By April, two physics experiments were underway simultaneously on two beams separately extracted from the cyclotron.
