Laser ion sources are used to generate and deliver highly charged ions of various masses and energies. We present details on the design and basic parameters of the DCU laser ion source (LIS). The theoretical aspects of a high voltage (HV) linear LIS are presented and the main issues surrounding laser-plasma formation, ion extraction and modeling of beam transport in relation to the operation of...

The ISIS ion source is a surface plasma ion source of the Penning type, and routinely produces 35 mA of H ions during a 200 μs pulse at 50 Hz for uninterrupted periods of up to 40 days. A new computer control system was installed in 1995, which, in addition to providing much tighter control of ion source parameters, has allowed these parameters to be logged every fifteen minutes and then averag...

Since now many years, the Ganil ion source team deals with high charge state and radioactive ion beam production. Concerning radioactive ion production, the recent results obtained, in collaboration with the ISN Grenoble group, with the 1+/n+ method drove us to develop a new concept of ecr ion source for monocharged ion production. The results of the first tests of this source are given. This n...

Several ion source related research and development projects are in progress at the Department of Physics, University of Jyväskylä (JYFL). The work can be divided into investigation of the ion source plasma and development of ion sources, ion beams, and diagnostics. The investigation covers the Electron Cyclotron Resonance Ion Source (ECRIS) plasma instabilities, vacuum ultraviolet (VUV) and vi...

A frozen laser target that is in the gaseous phase at room temperature advantageous for a ion source because it can avoid accumulation of damage from irradiation by regeneration surface additional gas freezing. In this study, possibility forming xenon beam with current sufficient heavy-ion inertial fusion (HIF) was investigated. The relationship between growth and resulting analyzed to determin...

Effects of ion extraction on gridded source discharge or the coupling between and are investigated for first time by correlating ratio impingement current (Ia) to beam (Ib) with total gray values extracted from images glows without extraction. The results indicate that, under equal power gas pressure, discharges high low Ia/Ib in presence are, respectively, more intensive weaker than those comp...
