A Space Charge Lens for Focusing Uranium Beams
نویسندگان
چکیده
A promising approach for LEBT systems are Gabor Plasma Lenses using a stable space charge cloud [1]. The confinement of the electrons by external fields leads to focusing of ion beams at drastically reduced magnetic and electric field strength compared to conventional ion optics. Therefore in former experiments the fundamental properties of the electron cloud so called nonneutral plasma were studied. To further investigate the performance of the Gabor Plasma Lens relating to focus low energy heavy ion beams a new experiment is under construction.

Space Charge Lens for Focusing Heavy Ion Beams
Space charge lenses use a confined electron cloud for the focusing of ion beams. Due to the electric space charge field, the focusing is independent of the particle mass. For this reason the application of space charge lenses especially in the field of heavy ion beams is advantageous. Moreover, the trapped non neutral plasma cloud compensates the space charge forces of the ion beam. The focusin...

The crossed electric and magnetic fi elds, inherent to the cylindrical electrostatic plasma lens (PL) confi guration, provide an attractive method for establishing a stable plasma discharge at a low pressure [1]. One particularly interesting result of this background work was the observation of the essential positive potential at the fl oating substrate. This suggested that an electrostatic PL ...

متن کاملPlasma Focusing and Diagnosis of High Energy Particle Beams*
Various novel concepts of focusing and diagnosis of high energy charged particle beams, based on the interaction between the relativistic particle beam and the-plasma, are reviewed. This includes overdense and underdense thin plasma lenses, an (underdense) adiabatic plasma lens, and two beam size monitor concepts. In addition, we introduce another mechanism for measuring flat beams based on the...
متن کاملVisual introduction to Gaussian beams using a single lens as an interferometer
Weak surface reflections from a simple lens can be used to observe interferences between collimated and focusing laser beams. The superimposed beams ͑one resulting from a double reflection within the lens͒ can be made to have similar intensities near the focus of the weaker beam by choosing the lens prescription and the divergence of the incident laser. An advantage to this inexpensive setup is i...
