The '''Uni'''versal '''L'''inear '''Ac'''celerator is a [[heavy ion]] [[linear particle accelerator|linac]] based at the Heavy Ion Research Centre ([[Gesellschaft für Schwerionenforschung|'''GSI''']]) near [[Darmstadt]], [[Germany]]. It can provide beams of accelerated [[ion]]s of elements from [[proton]] to [[Uranium]] with energies up to 11.4 [[MeV]] / [[atomic mass unit|u]].
The main branch consists of two ions sources terminals followed by a [[Radio Frequency Quadrupole (RFQ)]] and by an Intergidigital linac [[IH linac accelerator]] resonating at 36 MHz up to the energy of 1.4 MeV/u. The main part then is operated by a classical [[linac]] of the Alvarez type which resonates at 108 MHz. Final energy adjustmnet can be performed in the last section which consists of a series of single gap resonators. This solutions was proposed in order to achieve the maximum flexibility in beam energy.
