Ion Beam Buffer Gas Cooling by a Rf-quadrupole
نویسندگان
چکیده
Beams with high brilliances are required for many applications e.g. for exotic and radioactive beam application. One way of reducing the necessary acceptance resp. increasing the transmission of accelerators is beam cooling by the statistical collisions with a buffer gas and a decreasing of the emittance in a short transport section in front of the accelerator. Our experimental setup is a combination of an RFquadrupole and He-buffer gas on an Ar-beam.

The quest for crystalline ion beams
The phase transition of an ion beam into its crystalline state has long been expected to dramatically influence beam dynamics beyond the limitations of standard accelerator physics. Yet, although considerable improvement in beam cooling techniques has been made, strong heating mechanisms inherent to existing high-energy storage rings have prohibited the formation of the crystalline state in the...
متن کاملLaser-cooling of Ions and Ion Acceleration in the RF-Quadrupole Ring Trap PALLAS
We report on the commissioning of the table-top RF-Quadrupole storage ring PALLAS , dedicated to the experimental realization of crystalline ion beams. Images of large prolate 24Mg+-ion crystals are presented, operating PALLAS locally as a linear rf-trap and applying laser-cooling, beautifully confirming prior theoretical and experimental work. For few-ion strings, a radial oscillation of the c...
متن کاملStability of Crystalline Ion Beams
In this paper, the conditions for which three-dimensional crystalline ion beams were attained in the rf quadrupole storage ring PALLAS at a velocity of around 2800 m/s are presented. The stability of these crystalline beams when subjected to discontinuous cooling is discussed for beams of different linear density and thus of different crystal structure. The survival time seems to only weakly de...
متن کاملCrystallisation of ion beams in the rf quadrupole storage ring PALLAS
The crystallisation of laser-cooled Mg+ ion beams circulating in the table-top rf quadrupole storage ring PALLAS at a velocity of the order of 2800 m/s (beam energy 1 eV) is reviewed. Emphasis is given to the description of the experimental techniques that were required for this first realisation of crystalline beams. The equivalence of the equations of motion for rf electric and magnetic confi...
متن کاملFrom laser cooling of non-relativistic to relativistic ion beams
Laser cooling of stored 24Mg ion beams recently led to the long anticipated experimental realization of Coulombordered ‘crystalline’ ion beams in the low-energy RF-quadrupole storage ring PAul Laser CooLing Acceleration System (Munich). Moreover, systematic studies revealed severe constraints on the cooling scheme and the storage ring lattice for the attainment and maintenance of the crystallin...
