Description
For low-background cross-section measurements, it is beneficial to host an ion accelerator in an underground setting, shielded from cosmic rays. The Felsenkeller 5 MV underground ion accelerator in Dresden, Germany, is the second such facility in Europe and has recently become accessible using EU-supported transnational access. The contribution will review recent progress at Felsenkeller: The three main ion beam species (H-1 and He-4 from the internal and C-12 from the external ion source) have now all been developed successfully. The first experiment by external users has been completed. An HPGe-detector based offline gamma-counting setup with muon veto has been commissioned and tested.
