Trace Element Analysis Using ECR Ion Source.

Status of the Ins Ecr Ion Source

An ECR source for the INS SF cyclotron has been constructed. Test operation is being performed in a single stage configuration in order to study the behavior of the source, before it is installed. Some results are presented.

Venus: the next Generation Ecr Ion Source

The construction of VENUS, an Electron Cyclotron Resonance ion source designed to operate at 28 GHz, is nearing completion. Tests with the superconducting magnet assembly produced axial magnetic field strengths of 4 T at injection and 3 T at extraction and a sextupole field of 2 T at the plasma wall. These fields are sufficient for optimum operation at 28 GHz. We expect a shift to higher charge...

Ion Beam Measurements at the Superconducting ECR Ion Source SECRAL

Use of an Ecr Ion Source for Mass Spectrometry

At ANSTO we have developed an Electron Cyclotron Resonance (ECR) ion source to investigate new concepts for mass spectrometers designed to measure isotopic ratios of elements such as carbon, nitrogen and oxygen. The low pressure ECR plasma presents particular challenges when used for mass spectrometry. The elements we are interested in measuring are typically present as residual gas in vacuum s...

Design Status of Ecr Ion Source and Lebt for Frib*

The Facility for Rare Isotope Beams (FRIB) at Michigan State University will provide intense beams of rare isotopes for research in nuclear physics, nuclear astrophysics and study of fundamental interactions. A Superconducting linac will accelerate the primary beam to energies beyond 200 Mev/u and is designed to reach a maximum beam power close to 400kW on the fragmentation target. In the case ...
