First tests with the new SPARC-EBIT
نویسندگان
چکیده
The SPARC-EBIT (fig.1) is an Electron Beam Ion Trap (from DREEBIT, Dresden) that will be used for tests and offline measurements, firstly for HITRAP, and later for SPARC (Stored Particle Atomic physics Research Collaboration). In the EBIT the ions are produced by electron impact ionisation of gas atoms by an intense electron beam. The magnetic field of a permanent magnet arrangement focuses the beam and guides it through the ionisation chamber. This design makes the EBIT portable and simple to operate.

Charge Breeding with the SPARC-EBIT
Highly charged ions (HCIs) are an important tool in various fields of basic and applied physical research. However, in many cases the species of interest cannot be produced directly by a primary ion source. Therefore, charge breeding, i.e. the conversion of singly charged ions to highly charged ions, is an essential part of projects such as nuclear or astrophysical experiments with post acceler...
متن کاملCharge Breeding with Dresden EBIS/T systems
Electron Beam Ion Sources and Traps (EBIS/T) of the Dresden EBIS/T type have been proven to be efficient and reliable sources of highly charged ions in many applications [1]. At GSI, a Dresden EBIT named SPARC-EBIT is currently being installed as an ion injector at the HITRAP facility. It will serve as an off line ion source for test runs and experiments. Plans for the future also envision the ...
متن کاملDevelopment of a crystal spectrometer for studies with helium-like argon
We report on the development of a crystal spectrometer for experiments with helium-like argon ions as a target. The spectrometer will be used as a precise diagnostic tool to study a) collisions between relativistic highly charged ions and argon atoms at the ESR; b) the interaction between pulses from the PHELIX laser and large argon clusters; and c) studies of He-like argon as created in the SP...
متن کاملExperimental Testing of Dynamically Optimized Photoelectron Beams
We discuss the design of and initial results from an experiment in space-charge dominated beam dynamics which explores a new regime of high-brightness electron beam generation at the SPARC (located at INFN-LNF, Frascati) photoinjector. The scheme under study employs the natural tendency in intense electron beams to configure themselves to produce a uniform density, giving a nearly ideal beam fr...
متن کاملTests of a Laser Ion Source at the Heidelberg Electron Beam Ion Trap
A laser ion source (LIS) has been designed and successfully tested for loading the Heidelberg electron beam ion trap (H-EBIT) with ions of practically all solid-state elements. A pulsed YAG:Nd laser (30 mJ, 8 ns) is used to produce plasma from a solid target. Lowly charged ions are extracted from the plasma and accelerated by a short high-voltage pulse, generating a pulsed ion beam with energy ...
