The Argonne Tandem Linear Accelerator System (ATLAS) recently completed a significant upgrade and reconfiguration. Along with the major additions of a new CW room temperature RFQ and a new cryostat of quarter wave resonators optimized for = 0.077, the transverse and longitudinal optics were reconfigured to optimize the performance of these new components. Beam commissioning investigations showed an improvement of 15% – 20% in transmission efficiencies and an increase of up to 50% in maximum beam intensities. The details of the upgraded facility and the commissioning results will be presented.
