The Mass Driver Two accelerator section as it appeared during the summer of 1980 is shown in Fig. 1.5. Shortly afterwards the PPA capacitors Fig. 1.5 Mass Driver Two accelerator. shown in the figure had to be disposed of because they contained PCB's. New capacitors were ordered but a nine month delay occurred before these new non PCB capacitors were received and installed. Testing of the complete two phase accelerator could not be done during this period. After the new capacitors were installed, testing resumed of the full two phase accelerator with recharging with an ohmic bucket. Test results during this period (spring 1981) are presented in Chapter 6 before the accelerator was disassembled in the author's absence. A summary of these test results of the accelerator, system analysis of mass drivers, and future work are presented in chapter 7.
