First storage of ion beams in the Double Electrostatic Ion-Ring Experiment: DESIREE.

چکیده
We report on the first storage of ion beams in the Double ElectroStatic Ion Ring ExpEriment, DESIREE, at Stockholm University. We have produced beams of atomic carbon anions and small carbon anion molecules (C(n)(-), n = 1, 2, 3, 4) in a sputter ion source. The ion beams were accelerated to 10 keV kinetic energy and stored in an electrostatic ion storage ring enclosed in a vacuum chamber at 13 K. For 10 keV C2 (-) molecular anions we measure the residual-gas limited beam storage lifetime to be 448 s ± 18 s with two independent detector systems. Using the measured storage lifetimes we estimate that the residual gas pressure is in the 10(-14) mbar range. When high current ion beams are injected, the number of stored particles does not follow a single exponential decay law as would be expected for stored particles lost solely due to electron detachment in collision with the residual-gas. Instead, we observe a faster initial decay rate, which we ascribe to the effect of the space charge of the ion beam on the storage capacity.

We have constructed a compact purely electrostatic ion-beam trap, ConeTrap, which we have mounted inside a double-walled vacuum chamber. In the inner vacuum chamber, we can obtain ultra-high vacuum (UHV) conditions and reach thermal equilibrium at well controlled temperatures down to 10 K. The chamber was constructed partly with the purpose of making high-precision measurements in ConeTrap, but...
متن کاملIntensity and Profile Measurement for Low Intensity Ion Beams in an Electrostatic Cryogenic Storage Ring
The cryogenic storage ring CSR is a 35 m circumference electrostatic ring, designed for molecularand atomic physics experiments at MPI-K Heidelberg. It will operate at pressures down to 10 mbar and temperatures <10 K. The beam intensities will be in the range of 1 nA to 1 μA, particle energies with between 20 300 keV. An intensity measurement for coasting beams below 1μA requires magnetic field...
متن کاملTwo-dimensional Cooling of Ion Beams in Storage Rings by Narrow Broad-Band Laser Beams
A new scheme for the two-dimensional cooling of ion beams in storage rings is suggested in which ions interact with a counterpropagating broad-band laser beam. The interaction region in the direction of the ion movement is much less then the wavelength of the ion betatron oscillations. The laser beam in the orbit plane has sharp flat edge directed to the ion beam and the width of the laser beam...

Facing the difficulties associated with the preparation of crystalline ion beams in heavy ion storage rings we propose two complementary table top schemes to elucidate fundamental issues like stability criteria for moving ion crystals at low velocities. One is based on a small radio-frequency quadrupole (RFQ) storage ring, where by laser cooling Mg ion crystals at rest were observed, but concep...

The basic approach for measuring electron-ion recombina-tion rate coefficients in merged-beams electron-ion collision experiments at heavy-ion storage rings is outlined. As an example experimental results for the low temperature recombination of C iv ions are compared with the recommended theoretical rate coefficient by Mazzotta et al. The latter deviates by factors of up to 5 from the experime...
