This book was released on 1996 with total page 5 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There is a growing interest in the use of beams of multiply charged ions produced in special environments like high voltage platforms, Dynamitrons, Van-de-Graaff accelerators or on-line production systems for radioactive beam facilities. A compact 10 GHz ECR ion source (200 mm long, 170 mm diameter) has been developed and tested. The complete magnetic structure made from permanent magnet material is comprised of four ring magnets producing an asymmetric axial magnetic field with a mirror ratio of 2.5 and a 24 piece hexapole magnet with a maximum radial field of 0.94 T inside the plasma chamber of 25 mm inner diameter. The coupling of the microwave to the plasma using a resonant transition line from rectangular to circular waveguide shows efficient ECR plasma heating at microwave power levels around 10 watts. Charge state distributions for various elements with intensities up to 320 e[mu]A and their dependence on operation parameters will be presented as well as VUV spectra in the wavelength region down to 15 nm.

Book excerpt: Electron Cyclotron Resonance Ion Sources (ECRIS) using RF between 5 and 16 GHz have been developed into stable, reliable sources of highly charged ions produced from a wide range of elements. These devices are currently used as ion sources for cyclotrons, synchrotrons, and heavy-ion linacs for nuclear and relativistic heavy-ion physics. They also serve the atomic physics community as a source of low energy multiply-charged ions. In order to improve their performance both with respect to maximum charge state and beam intensity, ECRIS builders are now designing and constructing sources which will operate at frequencies up to 30 GHz. In this paper we review the present status of operating ECRIS, review recent experimental measurements on plasma parameters, and look at the technology and potential of sources operating at frequencies up to 30 GHz. 14 refs., 4 figs., 1 tab.

This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 343 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book contains the invited lectures and contributed papers presented at the V International Conference on the Physics of Highly Charged Ions, which was held at the lustus-Liebig-Universi tat Giessen, 10-14 September 1990. This conference was the ftfth in a series -after Stockholm (1982), Oxford (1984), Groningen (1986) and Grenoble (1988) -to deal with a rapidly growing fteld, which comprises the spectroscopy of highly charged ions and their interactions with photons, electrons, atoms, ions, and solids. Most of the matter of the universe is in the ionized state. Investigations dealing with hot plasmas on earth have been greatly furthered by thermonuclear-fusion research. The increasing maturity of this programme has revealed the fundamental role of highly charged ions in fusion plasmas. Today, it is clear that a detailed knowledge of the production mechanisms of highly charged ions and their interactions with other plasma constituents is an important prerequisite for a better understanding of the microscopic and macroscopic plasma properties. The study of highly charged ions involves various branches of physics. It was the aim of the conference to bring together physicists working in atomic collisions and spectroscopy, in plasma physics and astrophysics, as well as in solid-state and ion-source physics. About 220 scientists from 20 nations attended the conference, indicating the strong worldwide interest and the vital ity of research in this fteld.

This book was released on 1997 with total page 6 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A new 14 GHz Electron-Cyclotron-Resonance Ion Source (ECRIS) has been designed and built over the last two years. The source, which is a modification of the AECR at Berkeley, incorporates the latest results from ECR developments to produce intense beams of highly charged ions, i.e. an improved magnetic confinement of the plasma electrons. The aluminum plasma chamber and extraction electrode as well as a biased disk on axis at the microwave injection side donate additional electrons to the plasma, making use of the large secondary electron yield from aluminum oxide. The source will be capable of ECR plasma heating using two different frequencies simultaneously to increase the electron energy gain for the production of high charge states. To be able to deliver usable intensities of the heaviest ion beams, the design will also allow axial access for metal evaporation ovens and solid material samples using the plasma sputtering technique. The main design goal is to produce several e[mu]A of at least 238U{sup 34+} in order to accelerate the beam to coulomb-barrier energies without further stripping. First charge state distributions for 160 and 4°Ar have been measured.

This book was released on 2019 with total page 227 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Heavy ion accelerators are a valuable resource for the nuclear science community to study atomic physics. One such heavy ion accelerator is the Coupled Cyclotron Facility (CCF) at the National Superconducting Cyclotron Laboratory (NSCL) which relies on Electron Cyclotron Resonance (ECR) ion sources to provide the primary beam to the target. ECR ion sources are essential for the efficient operation of research accelerators such as the CCF, providing high currents of highly charged ions. Highly charged ion beams increase the efficiency of the accelerators, but require longer confinement times and higher temperature plasmas in the ion sources than is necessary to produce singly charged beams. The need to use high temperature and low density plasmas creates challenges including those relating to plasma stability. ECR ion sources provide a good platform to accept metallic vapor ovens and sputtering probes allowing the CCF to accelerate up to 30 types of beams ranging from oxygen to uranium. Furthermore, ECR ion sources use no filaments or cathodes providing a high degree of reliability for the accelerator facility. As the intensity frontier demands ever rarer isotopes from accelerator facilities, the heavy ion beam intensity must increase [70], which creates new demands from the ion sources.The work presented within this dissertation set out to better understand the mechanism that confines highly charged ions in the ECR plasma. Specifically, it was explored if hot electrons (energy larger than 50 keV) contribute to ion confinement by generating an electrostatic well in the plasma potential [68]. Perturbative measurements of ECR ion sources are presented with the aim to explore ion confinement times: pulsed sputtering (Chapter 4) and amplitude modulation (Chapter 5). Chapter 3 explores the geometry of the sputtering probe with respect to the magnetic field which was crucial to produce reliable pulsed sputtering results on the ECR ion source. Axial pulsed sputtering, which could be conveniently implemented on fully superconducting sources, incorporated a bias disc effect that highly perturbed the plasma. Radial sputtering was emulated by placing a semi-shielded probe along the plasma chamber wall in between the electron loss surfaces.Ion confinement time was characterized through the decay time of the beam current, which is proportional to ion confinement time. Ion beam decay times were measured for different charge states of gold in an oxygen plasma in Chapter 4. Decay time always increased with increasing charge state. Decay time also increased with hot electron temperature for lower frequency operation (13 GHz), but reached an optimized value for higher frequency operation (18 GHz) due to plasma instabilities. Electrostatic confinement of ions appeared to be the most plausible mechanism to explain the observed decay time behaviors. A novel perturbative measurement technique was developed for ECR ion sources using Amplitude Modulation (AM) of microwave power. The AM measurement was originally motivated by whether or not 50~kHz modulation in microwave power (from the microwave source) would be observable in the beam current. A systematic study was organized on the University of Jyvaskyla Physics Department (JYFL) normal conducting ECR ion source in Jyvaskyla Finland. Chapter 5 presents the beam current response to AM on the 14 GHz ECR ion source for different weights of noble gases, magnetic fields, and vacuum pressures. The beam current amplitude generally decayed exponentially for frequencies higher than around 400 Hz with the modulation highly suppressed at 10 kHz.

Download or read book A Low Power Low Cost 2 45 GHz ECRIS for the Production of Multiply Charged Ions written by and published by . This book was released on 1997 with total page 3 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A low cost, low power ECR ion source designed for the use on a high voltage platform with limited electrical power available, has been developed. To reduce the power consumption of the source the radial and axial magnetic confinement are produced entirely by permanent magnets. An axial magnetic mirror ratio of 2.7 is obtained by a configuration of two times four block magnets. A radial magnetic field of 0.5 T inside the plasma chamber of 60 mm inner diameter is produced by a hexapole magnet. Microwave power up to 300 watts c/w can be applied to the plasma by using different slow-wave structures which allow the use of a plasma chamber much smaller in diameter than required by the wavelength of the used frequency of 2.45 GHz. The ion source can be operated in different modes either for producing multiply charged ions with intensities up to several hundred e[mu]A or for the production of high intensity beams of singly charged ions, i.e. 6.5 mA of He. Applications for the ion source are in crossed beams experiments and as injectors for small accelerators as well as for spectroscopic investigations in the VUV wavelength region.
