Afterglow mode and the new Micro Pulsed Beam mode applied to an ECR Ion Source
نویسندگان
چکیده
An increasing number of experiments in the field of low energy ion physics (< 25 keV/charge) requires pulsed beams of highly charged ions. Whereas for high-intensity beams (> μA) a pulsed beam chopper, installed downstream to the analyzing dipole, is used. For low-intensity beams (< 100 nA) the ion intensity delivered during the pulse may be increased by operating the ECR discharge in the afterglow mode [1]. This method gives satisfactory results (ie average current during the beam pulse is higher than the current in the CW mode) for high charge state ions. In this paper, we report on results of the afterglow mode for beams of 22Neq+, 36Arq+ and 84Krq+ ions. Furthermore, a new promising “Micro Pulsed Beam” mode will be described with encouraging preliminary results for 84 Kr 27+ and 36 Ar 17+ ions. PACS N°: 07.77.Ka, 29.25.Ni, 52.50-Sw, 52.25.Jm

Pulsed ECR Source in Afterglow Operation at CERN
A pulsed 14 GHz ECR4 source, adapted to operate in the afterglow mode, was delivered by GANIL to CERN in the framework of the Heavy Ion Facility Project. After four months of operation to commission the facility, it completed its first operational run of nine weeks at the end of 1994, providing lead ions to nuclear physics and ion cooling experiments. A very stable beam, with a useful length of...
متن کاملFirst experiments with gasdynamic ion source in CW mode.
A new type of ECR ion source-a gasdynamic ECR ion source-has been recently developed at the Institute of Applied Physics. The main advantages of such device are extremely high ion beam current with a current density up to 600-700 emA/cm(2) in combination with low emittance, i.e., normalized RMS emittance below 0.1 π mm mrad. Previous investigations were carried out in pulsed operation with 37.5...

The SERSE source has been efficiently working at the Laboratori Nazionali del Sud in Catania since 1998, by operating at 14 and 18 GHz, with a maximum power of about 2 kW, for the beam injection into the K-800 Superconducting Cyclotron. In 2000 a collaboration was established in order to test the behaviour of SERSE at 28 GHz, so that a new operating domain could be studied, featuring a very den...

A new acceleration structure named as coupled radio frequency quadrupole and separated function radio frequency quadrupole cavity (Coupled RFQ & SFRFQ) is under design at Peking University (PKU). A pulsed or CW He beam injector will be needed to transport 30 keV 20 mA He beam and normalized rms emittance less than 0.15 pi.mm.mrad for this composited type cavity. For pulsed mode, the factor is 1...
متن کاملHybrid Ion Sources for the Production of Highly Charged Ion Beams from Metals
The ECLISSE experiment proved in 2002 the possibility to couple a Laser Ion Source (LIS) with an Electron Cyclotron Resonance Ion Source (ECRIS) in order to obtain ion beams from refractory metals with a cw beam structure. The use of a LIS inside the ECRIS plasma chamber may permit to increase the beam current and the ion charge state. The use of 3 generation ECRIS may extend the capabilities o...
