Rutgers 12-Inch Cyclotron Ion Source Studies: Part II (Ion Source Simulations and Measurements)

Since the publication of the first Ion Source Studies document there have been improvements in both the understanding and implementation of the ion source system.[1] The understanding has been greatly assisted by the 3-dimensional E&M particle tracking code SIMION. Several experiments in the adjustment of the ions’ initial condition have benchmarked our 3D model as well as identified the source...

Ion Source Development and Operation

A new vacuum arc type ion source (VARIS) has been developed and tested for high current uranium operation. Figure 1 shows a cross sectional view of the ion source. The discharge arrangement has a tubular anode opposite to the cathode mount carrying 17 cathodes (each one is 5.7mm in diameter and 17mm in length). The anode, made of stainless steel, is placed 15mm apart from the cathode. Its apert...
