Experimental Investigation of Impact-Induced Molecular Desorption by 4.2 MeV/u Pb Ions
نویسنده
چکیده
In preparation for the heavy ion program of the LHC [1], accumulation and cooling tests with lead ion beams have been performed in the LEAR storage ring [2]. These tests have revealed that due to the unexpected, large outgassing of the vacuum system, the dynamic pressure of the ring could not be maintained low enough to reach the required beam intensities. To determine the actions necessary to lower the dynamic pressure rise, an experimental program has been initiated for measuring the molecular desorption yields of stainless steel vacuum chambers by the impact of 4.2 MeV/u lead ions with the charge states +27 and +53. The test chambers were exposed either at grazing or at perpendicular incidence. Different surface treatments are reported in terms of the molecular desorption yields for H 2, CH4, CO and CO2. Unexpected large values of molecular yields per incident ion up to 1.5×104 molecules/ion have been observed. The implications of these results for the vacuum system of the future ion accumulator ring (LEIR) and possible remedies to reduce the vacuum degradation will be discussed.

Energy-Loss Dependence of the Ion-Induced Desorption Yield Measured with Ar10+ Ions at GSI-HHT
In heavy ion synchrotrons like SIS 18 high energetic ions can impact on the beam pipe and release gas molecules. This so called ”ion induced desorption” deteriorates the accelerator vacuum and, as a consequence, the beam life time and luminosity. Desorption yields η (released gas atoms or molecules per incident ion) of various materials have been studied at GSI since 2003. A scaling of the deso...

Neutron energy spectra from 6.25 MeV/u C ions incident on a copper target, 10 MeV/u C ions incident carbon, copper, and lead targets, and O ions incident on a copper target have been calculated using the Quantum Molecular Dynamics model (QMD) [1] coupled to the Generalized Evaporation Model (GEM) [2] in the Particle and Heavy Ion Transport Code (PHITS) [3]. In particular, the influence of the “...

The biosorption of heavy metals can be an effective process for the removal of such metal ions from aqueous solutions. In this study, the adsorption properties of nonliving biomass of phanerochaete chrysosporium for Pb (II) and Zn (II) were investigated by the use of batch adsorption techniques. The effects of initial metal ion concentration, initial pH, biosorbent concentration, stirring speed...
متن کاملLaboratory simulation of heavy-ion cosmic-ray interaction with condensed CO
Context. Within dense interstellar clouds, from their periphery to regions deep inside, ice mantles on dust grains are exposed to cosmic-ray irradiation. Various swift ions contribute from protons to iron in the keV to TeV energy range. Observations show that in some lines of sight condensed CO molecules are an important component of the ice. Aims. We irradiate CO ices with Ni ions of relativel...
