IrCe cathodes for EBIS

Advanced Ebis Charge Breeder for Rare Isotope Science Project*

The Rare Isotope Science Project (RISP) is under development in Korea to provide wide variety of intense rare isotope beams for nuclear physics experiments and applied science using both Isotope Separation On-Line (ISOL) and In-Flight Fragmentation (IF) techniques [1]. A rare isotope beam facility to be built is called RAON. An Electron Beam Ion Source (EBIS) charge breeder (CB) is a key elemen...

Eliminating unwanted electrons in EBIS devices.

In electron beam ion sources, step-wise ionization to high charge states is accomplished by magnetically confined electron beam. Electron space charge and high voltage electrodes confine the ions. The relativistic heavy ion collider (RHIC) ion source Debye length meets requirements for instabilities with free source of energy to grow. Electrons stripped from ions provide energy for a variety of...

Report on Ebis Studies for a Rhic Preinjector

At Brookhaven, an Electron Beam Ion Source (EBIS) is now operational. This source is being used as a test bed to answer questions relevant to the eventual design of an EBIS-based heavy ion injector for RHIC. Such a source can easily produce ions such as Au, but the challenge lies in reaching intensities of interest for RHIC (3 x 10 particles/pulse). The source studies are planned to address iss...
