High Current Ion Sources for the Fair Accelerator Facility
نویسندگان
چکیده
Vacuum arc ion sources and filament driven multi cusp ion sources are used for the production of high current ion beams of a variety of metallic and gaseous ions at the GSI accelerator facility. For the future project FAIR (Facility of Antiproton and Ion Research) it is foreseen to provide in addition to the existing ion beams a high current proton beam from a separate linear accelerator (plinac) and an exclusive high current uranium beam from a new ion source injector. The contribution gives an overview of the performance of the existing high current injector and presents the challenges for the future injectors for proton and uranium production.

The present GSI accelerator chain will serve as an injector for FAIR (Facility for Antiproton and Ion Research). The linear accelerator UNILAC and the heavy ion synchrotron SIS18 should deliver up to 1⋅10 U-particles/sec. In the past two years different hardware measures and a careful fine tuning of the UNILAC resulted in an 35% increase of the beam intensity to a new record of 1.25⋅10 U-ions...

Since the superconducting heavy ion linac ATLAS is an ideal post-accelerator for radioactive beams, plans are being developed for expansion of the facility with the addition of a driver accelerator, a production targethon source combination, and a low q/m pre-accelerator for-radioactive ions. A working group including staff from the ANL Physics Division and current ATLAS users are preparing a r...

متن کاملEmittance Measurements at GSI UNILAC
At GSI heavy ion beams are accelerated by the UNIversal Linear ACcelerator UNILAC (see Fig. 1) and the heavy ion synchrotron SIS 18. Heavy ion beams are delivered to the High Current Injector (HSI) from two different ion source terminals: Penning type (PIG) sources for low and MUCIS/ MEVVA type sources for high beam intensities. An RFQ and two IH structures accelerate the ions from 2.2 keV/u up...
