Ion analysis of a compact ECR ion source.

Design of a Compact ECR Ion Source with Ku Band

The electron cyclotron resonance (ECR) ion sources are increasingly popular for producing highly charged ions. With worldwide proposals to build the Isotope Seperator OnLine (ISOL) facility being at hand, it becomes important to design a high efficiency ion source as a charge breeder for the secondary beam. A novel type of ECR ion source based on a flat magnetic field configuration has been pro...

Development of a compact ECR ion source for various ion production.

There is a desire that a carbon-ion radiotherapy facility will produce various ion species for fundamental research. Although the present Kei2-type ion sources are dedicated for the carbon-ion production, a future ion source is expected that could provide: (1) carbon-ion production for medical use, (2) various ions with a charge-to-mass ratio of 1/3 for the existing Linac injector, and (3) low ...

Status of the Ins Ecr Ion Source

An ECR source for the INS SF cyclotron has been constructed. Test operation is being performed in a single stage configuration in order to study the behavior of the source, before it is installed. Some results are presented.

Venus: the next Generation Ecr Ion Source

The construction of VENUS, an Electron Cyclotron Resonance ion source designed to operate at 28 GHz, is nearing completion. Tests with the superconducting magnet assembly produced axial magnetic field strengths of 4 T at injection and 3 T at extraction and a sextupole field of 2 T at the plasma wall. These fields are sufficient for optimum operation at 28 GHz. We expect a shift to higher charge...
