Plasma expansion from a dielectric electron cyclotron resonance source

Plasma expansion from a dielectric electron cyclotron resonance source

The boundary conditions in an electron cyclotron resonance (ECR) source have been modified to mimic the operating conditions where current-free double-layers (DLs) have been recently measured in rf helicon plasmas. The plasma is heated or generated by the ECR at 875 G inside a dielectric source tube, and expands into a grounded diffusion chamber (terminated by a glass plate) by a rapidly decrea...

Electron Cyclotron Resonance Source Development

The ECR ion source (ECRIS) is still an active field of research and development, as demonstrated by the numerous contributions to the ECRIS’12 workshop and ICIS’13 conference. It is impossible to present all the interesting ECR development in this paper. Instead, a selection of ECR development for linear accelerator and synchrotrons are presented along with some original recent ECR contribution...
