The most recent improvements completed and those that are presently under construction and being implemented described include tube extension, insulated power shift drive, sorting cable and rod system for individual tube section voltage conditioning,

The performance in this mode of operation was improved by modifications of the second accelerator. The inclined field acceleration tube electrodes at the exit of this accelerator were replaced by straight electrodes, the vacuum was improved and the maximum negative terminal potential was increased. Higher intensity beams of heavier highly stripped ions can now be produced at lower energies than before.
