Three Dimensional Simulation of Ion Beam Extraction from an Ecr Ion Source

Accurate prediction of ECR ion extraction behavior is important for high current density operation and subsequent beam transport calculations. In this paper we review the combined electric and magnetic space charge beam simulation of ion beam formation from an ECR ion source with a multi-electrode extraction system. Included in the simulation is the influence of secondary charged particles gene...

Kinetic Plasma Simulation of Ion Beam Extraction from an Ecr Ion Source

Designing optimized ECR ion beam sources can be streamlined by the accurate simulation of beam optical properties in order to predict ion extraction behavior. The complexity of these models, however, can make PICbased simulations time-consuming. In this paper, we first describe a simple kinetic plasma finite element simulation of extraction of a proton beam from a permanent magnet hexapole elec...

Ion Beam Cocktail Development and Ecr Ion Source Plasma Physics Experiments at Jyfl*

The accelerator based experiments at JYFL (University of Jyväskylä, Department of Physics) range from basic research in nuclear physics to industrial applications. A substantial share of the beam time hours is allocated for heavy ion beam cocktails, used for irradiation tests of electronics. Producing the required ion beam cocktails has required active development of the JYFL ECR ion sources. T...
