IPNS-I 500 MeV 快速循环同步加速器 (RCS) 于 1977 年 3 月投入使用。它最初设计为零梯度同步加速器 (ZGS) 的注入能量助推器，以及用于产生中子的高强度质子束源。随着ZGS高强度运行的终止，该加速器成为中子物理的专用机器。经过一段时间的加速器部件调试和改进，该加速器于1978年7月1日正式开始中子物理实验。该加速器已达到15赫兹的重复频率，向目标发射1×1012个质子束流。预计很快就会以 30 Hz 的频率运行。给出了加速器的描述。还讨论了开机程序、操作经验和初始性能问题。
The IPNS-I 500 MeV Rapid Cycling Synchrotron (RCS) was commissioned during March of 1977. It was originally designed as an injection energy booster for the Zero Gradient Synchrotron (ZGS), as well as a source of high intensity proton beams for neutron production. With the termination of the high intensity operation of the ZGS, the accelerator became a dedicated machine for neutron physics. After a period of tuning and improving accelerator components, the accelerator officially began neutron physics experiments on July 1, 1978. The accelerator has achieved a repetition rate of 15 Hz with beams of 1 × 1012 protons delivered on target. Operation at 30 Hz is expected soon. A description of the accelerator is presented. Turn on procedures, operating experience and initial performance problems are also discussed.
