The ITEP-TWAC accelerator complex is well in progress now for acceleration and accumulation of high current and high power ion beams. Modified Non-Liouvillian multiple charge exchange injection technique is being employed for accumulation of fully stripped ions in a storage ring by means of particles density increase in a small phase space separatrix area. This technique allows formation of ˜170 ns compressed beam bunch, its fast extraction and focusing down to a target spot of ˜1 mm size in order to obtain maximal energy density of irradiated matter. Activities are focused on development of new experimental tools for investigations into the physics of highbrightness beams generation opening wide opportunities for variety of practical application.
