Temporal development of ion beam mean charge state in pulsed vacuum arc ion sources.
Vacuum arc ion sources, commonly also known as "Mevva" ion sources, are used to generate intense pulsed metal ion beams. It is known that the mean charge state of the ion beam lies between 1 and 4, depending on cathode material, arc current, arc pulse duration, presence or absence of magnetic field at the cathode, as well as background gas pressure. A characteristic of the vacuum arc ion beam i...
متن کاملAxial ion charge state distribution in the vacuum arc plasma jet
We report on our experimental studies of the ion charge state distribution ~CSD! of vacuum arc plasmas using a time-of-flight diagnostic method. The dependence of the CSD on the axial distance from the plasma source region was measured for a titanium vacuum arc. It was found that the axial CSD profile is nonuniform. Generally, the mean charge state increases approximately linearly with axial di...
متن کاملHeavy-ion Beam Acceleration of Two-charge States from an Ecr Ion Source
This paper describes a design for the front end of a superconducting (SC) ion linac which can accept and simultaneously accelerate two charge states of uranium from an ECR ion source. This mode of operation increases the beam current available for the heaviest ions by a factor of two. We discuss the 12 MeV/u prestripper section of the Rare Isotope Accelerator (RIA) driver linac including the LE...
متن کاملLaser Ablation Ion Source for Highly Charge-state Ion Beams*
The KEK Laser ablation ion source (KEK-LAIS) is under development in order to generate highly ionized metal and fully ionized carbon for future applications. Laser ablation experiments have been carried out by using NdYAG laser (0.75 J/pulse, 20 ns) at the KEK test bench. Basic parameters such as a charge-state spectrum and momentum spectrum of the plasma and extracted ion beam current have bee...
متن کاملMicrowave Ion Source for Low Charge State Ion Production
The Plasma and Ion Source Technology Group at LBNL have developed a microwave ion source. The source consists of a stainless-steel plasma chamber, a permanent-magnet dipole structure and a coaxial microwave feed. Measurements were carried out to characterize the plasma and the ion beam produced in the ion source. These measurements included current density, charge state distribution, gas effici...
