Design of a Charge-Breeder Ion Source for Texas A&M University
نویسنده
چکیده
Scientific Solutions designed and fabricated a 14.5 GHz charge-breeder ECR source for the Texas A&M University Cyclotron facility. This charge-breeder source was designed as a charge-breeder from the start rather than as a conversion of an existing ECR system. In addition, the overall system was designed to be modular so that various components can be easily substituted to facilitate technology developments. This paper details the overall design, the design constraints, and reviews specific performance requirements that resulted in this particular system design.

On-line charge breeding using ECRIS and EBIS
The efficient and rapid production of a high-quality, pure beam of highly charged ions is at the heart of any radioactive ion beam facility. Whether an electron cyclotron resonance (ECR) ion source or an electron beam ion source (EBIS) is used to produce these highly charged ions, their operating characteristics will set the boundaries on the range of experiments which can be performed. In addi...

The efficient and rapid production of a high-quality, pure beam of highly charged ions is at the heart of any radioactive ion beam facility. An ECR charge breeder, as part of the Californium Rare Ion Breeder Upgrade (CARIBU) program at Argonne National Laboratory, was developed to fulfil this role. The charge breeding efficiency and high charge state production of the source are at the forefron...

A charge state breeder, which transforms externally injected singly charged ions to a higher charge state q+, is an important tool which has applications within atomic, nuclear and even particle physics. The charge breeding concept of radioactive ions has already been demonstrated at REX-ISOLDE/CERN with the use of an Electron beam Ion Source (EBIS) and at several facilities employing Electron ...

An Electron Beam Ion source Charge Breeder (EBISCB) has been developed to charge breed CARIBU radioactive beams at ATLAS and it is now in the final stages of off-line commissioning. Within the next year, the EBIS-CB will replace the existing ECR charge breeder to increase the intensity and improve the purity of reaccelerated radioactive ion beams. The integration of the new EBIS-CB requires: a....
