External Ion Injection into an EBIS source: Efficiency Measurements
نویسندگان
چکیده
A concept for a charge state multiplier, to be used for the production of energetic radioactive ion beams based on the ISOL+post-accelerator system, is discussed. The charge state breeder implies external ion injection into an Electron Beam Ion Source (EBIS). The total efficiency, measured by injecting a low-energy nitrogen (Q=1+ ) beam, reached 14.5% and was essentially constant for confinement times up to 200 ms.

Simulation of ion beam injection and extraction in an EBIS.
An example simulation of Au+ charge breeding using FAR-TECH's integrated EBIS (electron beam ion source) modeling toolset is presented with the emphasis on ion beam injection and extraction. The trajectories of injected ions are calculated with PBGUNS (particle beam gun simulation) self-consistently by including the space charges from both ions and electrons. The ion beam, starting with initial...
متن کاملImplementation of a Superconducting Electron Beam Ion Source into the Hit Ion Source Testbench
Cancer therapy with light heavy ions is now a well proven technology. Almost all facilities are running Electron Cyclotron Resonance Ion Sources (ECRIS) to produce carbon ions and protons as well. In the 1990’s the idea of using a Electron Beam Ion Source (EBIS) was proposed [1]. Some proof of principle measurements were carried out [2] but the application of EBIS ion sources in radiation facil...

متن کاملReport on Ebis Studies for a Rhic Preinjector
At Brookhaven, an Electron Beam Ion Source (EBIS) is now operational. This source is being used as a test bed to answer questions relevant to the eventual design of an EBIS-based heavy ion injector for RHIC. Such a source can easily produce ions such as Au, but the challenge lies in reaching intensities of interest for RHIC (3 x 10 particles/pulse). The source studies are planned to address iss...
متن کاملStatus of Electron Beam Ion Sources for Particle Therapy∗
The technical performance of ion sources of the Electron Beam Ion Source (EBIS) type has substantially improved during the last years. This is demonstrated by proof-ofprinciple experiments which have been done using a roomtemperature EBIS, a so-called Dresden EBIS-A, which has been in use for several years. A new superconducting EBIS, a so-called Dresden EBIS-SC, has been taken into operation. ...
