Ion source and injector experiments at the HIF/VNL

Ion Beam Cocktail Development and Ecr Ion Source Plasma Physics Experiments at Jyfl*

The accelerator based experiments at JYFL (University of Jyväskylä, Department of Physics) range from basic research in nuclear physics to industrial applications. A substantial share of the beam time hours is allocated for heavy ion beam cocktails, used for irradiation tests of electronics. Producing the required ion beam cocktails has required active development of the JYFL ECR ion sources. T...

Ion Beam Properties and Their Diagnostics for Ecr Ion Source Injector Systems

Electron Cyclotron Resonance (ECR) ion sources are essential components of heavy-ion accelerators due to their ability to produce the wide range of ions required by these facilities. The ever-increasing intensity demands have led to remarkable performance improvements of ECR injector systems mainly due to advances in magnet technology as well as an improved understanding of the ECR ion source p...

MonPS09 Heavy ion injector based on ECR ion source for RISP linac

Developmental activities of the 18 GHz High Temperature Superconducting ECR Ion Source, PKDELIS, for the High Current Injector at IUAC

Various developmental activities of the 18 GHz High Temperature Superconducting ECR Ion Source, PKDELIS have been carried out as a part of the High Current Injector programme. Emittance measurements using a simple technique has given important inputs for the design of downstream accelerators like RFQ, DTL and low beta cavities. The techniques allows for emittance matching by varying the emittan...

Caesium influence on plasma parameters and source performance during conditioning of the prototype ITER neutral beam injector negative ion source

Systematic Langmuir probe measurements were performed during the caesium (Cs) conditioning of the IPP prototype negative hydrogen ion source. Conditioning consists of slowly injecting caesium into the source in order to increase the extracted negative ion current and minimize the co-extraced electrons. This process usually takes several days. Measurements were taken near the plasma grid where t...
