Universal linear accelerator

It can provide beams of accelerated ions of elements from hydrogen to uranium with energies of 2 to 11.4 MeV / u.

The main part then is operated by a classical linac of the Alvarez type which resonates at 108 MHz.

Final energy adjustment can be performed in the last section consisting of a series of single-gap resonators.

Collisions between heavy-ion beams and stationary targets can be made to generate superheavy transactinide elements.

Experiments using beams from UNILAC in the past 20 years have produced elements 107 to 112.
