New progress on beam availability and reliability of PKU high intensity CW proton ECR ion source

The stability and reliability of an ion source and its beam availability are extremely significant for any accelerator,especially for those high current long term CW operation ones like ADS. Although the first high quality 306-hours continuous wave(CW) operating curve at 50 m A@35 ke V has been successfully obtained with a standard compact 2.45 GHz ECR ion source at Peking University(PKU), but the uncertainties that caused beam trips before are unacceptable during an accelerator real operation and should be eliminated. Meanwhile, no permission will be given when the beam power is upgraded from 50 m A@35 ke V to 50 m A@50 ke V. To improve the PKU CW proton source quality, several upgrades were done recently. After those improvements, a new long term CW proton beam experiment at 50 m A@50 ke V was carried out in June 2016. The total running time is 300.5 hours, including near 6 hours ion source preparation and 294 hours non-disturb continuous operation. Within the continuous 13 days operation, no beam-off happened, no spark was observed,no beam drop appeared, no interrupting action was needed, and only a few beam fluctuations caused by the air conditional failure occurred. Beam availability and reliability within the 294 hours is 100%. The root-mean-square(RMS) emittance of this 50 m A@50 ke V CW proton beam is about 0.186 π.mm.mrad. A careful inspection of the ion source was done after this long term operation and no obvious damage was found. The restart experimental results obtained after the ion source inspection prove the high repeatability of PKU PMECRIS. In addition, a 130-m A H+beam was obtained at 50 k V with duty factor of 10%(100 Hz/1 ms) with this source. Details will be presented in this paper.

微型电子回旋共振离子源的全局模型

微型电子回旋共振(electron cyclotron resonance, ECR)离子源在紧凑型离子注入机、小型中子管、微型离子推进器等领域有着十分广泛的应用.为了深入认识微型ECR离子源的工作机理,本文以北京大学自主研制的一款微型氘离子源作为研究对象,以氢气和氘气放电形成的等离子体为例,发展了一种基于粒子平衡方程的全局模型.研究结果表明,该离子源束流成分与离子源的运行气压和微波功率有着很强的依赖关系.对于氢气放电等离子体,微波功率低于100 W时,离子源可以分别在低气压和高气压情况下获得离子比超过50%的H~+₂离子束和H~+₃离子束;当微波功率高于100 W时,可以在很宽的运行气压范围内,获得质子比超过50%的束流.因此,提高微波功率是提高微型离子源质子比的关键.对于氘气放电等离子体, 3种离子比例对运行气压和微波功率的依赖关系与氢气放电等离子体的规律基本一致.但是在相同的运行条件下, D~+比例比H~+比例高10%—25%.也就是说,在微型氘离子源的测试和优化过程中,可以利用氢气代替氘气进行实验,并将质子比测量结果作为相同条件下氘离...     

Understanding hydrogen plasma processes based on the diagnostic results of 2.45 GHz ECRIS at Peking University

Optical emission spectroscopy(OES), as a simple in situ method without disturbing the plasma, has been performed for the plasma diagnosis of a 2.45 GHz permanent magnet electron cyclotron resonance(PMECR) ion source at Peking University(PKU). A spectrum measurement platform has been set up with the quartz-chamber electron cyclotron resonance(ECR) ion source [Patent Number: ZL 201110026605.4] and experiments were carried out recently. The electron temperature and electron density inside the ECR plasma chamber have been measured with the method of line intensity ratio of noble gas. Hydrogen plasma processes inside the discharge chamber are discussed based on the diagnostic results. What is more, the superiority of the method of line intensity ratio of noble gas is indicated with a comparison to line intensity ratio of hydrogen. Details will be presented in this paper.
