CEA/Saclay的ECR轻离子离子源

In the beginning of the 90s,T.Taylor and his collaborators demonstrated ECR sources operating at low frequency(i.e.2.45GHz)are able to produce very intense single charge light ion beams. At CEA/Saclay,the SILHI source developments started in 1995.Since 1997 more than 100mA proton or deuteron beams are routinely produced in pulsed or continuous mode.To comply with ADS reliability constraint,important improvements have been performed to increase the installation reliability.Moreover,to optimize the beam transport in the low energy beam line,the extraction system was carefully designed and space charge compensation studies were undertaken.An important step has been reached in 2005 with the development of a permanent magnet source able to produce a total beam of 109mA at 85kV. A new test bench named BETSI,especially dedicated to permanent magnet source developments,is presently under construction.It will allow analysing positive or negative extracted beams up to 50keV and 100mA. In addition,for several years work has been done to optimize the production of negative hydrogen ion beam with such an ECR source.Recent analysis pushed towards the construction of a new set up based on a multicusp magnetic configuration. After a brief overview of the CEA/Saclay source developments,this article will point out on the recent results and present status.     

首次使用核反应法鉴别JUNA深地加速器A/q=2的束流种类

JUNA团队计划利用CJPL所提供的极低本底条件和400 kV高压平台上2.45 GHz ECR离子源产生的毫安量级束流首次在天体物理能区对关键核反应进行直接测量。实验需要10 emA的质子束流和He+束流以及2 emA的He2+束流。使用2.45 GHz离子源产生毫安量级的He2+束流是离子源制造的难点。由于离子源分析磁铁分辨能力有限,无法区分He2+和H+₂离子,本文首次使用核反应法对离子源产生的A/q=2的束流进行了鉴别,结果显示,JUNA项目2.45 GHz ECR离子源无法产生毫安量级的He2+束流。该研究成果为JUNA项目离子源的设计提供了重要的参考依据。JUNA团队另外研制了一台微波频率为14.5 GHz的ECR离子源并成功产生2 emA的He2+束流来满足实验需求。     

2.45 GHz ECR离子源的微波阻抗匹配

ECR离子源的等离子体阻抗对其微波传输与阻抗匹配设计至关重要。在中国科学院近代物理研究所现有的2.45 GHz ECR 质子源上,对等离子体阻抗进行了测量。首先用水吸收负载代替等离子体负载测量得到了所用微波窗阻抗,然后根据质子源测量数据,推算得到了等离子体阻抗。实验结果表明,脊波导输出端阻抗与后续负载不完全匹配,等离子体阻抗随微波功率变化呈非线性。这些结果为ECR离子源过渡匹配和微波窗的设计提供了参考依据。Plasma impedance of an ECR ion source is important for microwave transmission and impedance matching design. Plasma impedance was measured indirectly with the 2.45 GHz ECR proton source at the Institute of Modern Physics, Chinese Academy of Sciences. In the test, we got microwave window mpedance by using water absorption load instead of plasma load, and the source plasma impedance was derived from the test data with the 2.45 GHz ECR proton source and microwave window impedance. The experimental results show that ridge waveguide output impedance and the subsequent load does not exactly match, plasma impedance variation is nonlinear with microwave power. The achievedresult is useful in the design of ridged waveguide and microwave window.     

高电荷态ECR离子源引出束流4D 发射度测量仪设计

为了进一步探究高电荷态电子回旋共振(ECR) 离子源引出束流品质和横向相空间耦合情况,根据中国科学院近代物理研究所高电荷态离子源引出束流发射度测量需求,针对束流流强为1 eμA∼1 emA,能量范围为10∼35 keV/q 的直流或脉冲高电荷态重离子束,设计了一台实时四维Pepper-pot 发射度测量仪。该Pepper-pot 型发射度测量仪具有响应时间快和工作范围宽等特点。针对强流重离子束诊断的特点,在结构与材料选择上做了设计与优化,并对获得图像的处理方法提出了具体的解决办法。For the purpose of on-line beam quality diagnostics and transverse emittance coupling investigation of the ion beams delivered by an Electron Cyclotron Resonance (ECR) ion source, a real-time 4D Pepper Pot type emittance scanner is under development at IMP(Institute of Moden Physics, Chinese Academy of Sciences). The high charge state ECR ion source at IMP could produce CW or pulsed heavy ion beam intensities in the range of 1 eμA∼1 emA with the kinetic energy of 10∼35 keV/q, which needs the design of the Pepper Pot scanner to be optimized accordingly. The Pepper Pot scanner has many features, such as very short response time and wide dynamic working range that the device could be applied. Since intense heavy ion beam bombardment is expected for this device, the structure and the material selection for the device is specially considered during the design, and a feasible solution to analyze the pictures acquired after the data acquisition is also made.     

近物所在产生金属离子束方面的研究

Since 1998,many experiments for metallic ion production have been done on LECR2(Lanzhou ECR ion source NO.2),LECR3(Lanzhou ECR ion source NO.3)and SECRAL(Superconductiong ECB ion source Advanced design in Lanzhou)at Institute of Modern Physics.The very heavy metallic ion beams such as those of uranium were also produced by the plasma sputtering method,and supplied for HIRFL(Heavy Ion Research Facility in Lanzhou)accelerators successfully.During the test,11.SeμAU~(28 ),9eμAU~(24 ) were obtained.Some ion beams of the metal having lower melting temperature such as Ni and Mg ion beams were produced by oven method on LECR3 too.The consumption rate was controlled to be lower for ~(26)Mg ion beams production,and the minimum consumption was about 0.3mg per hour.In this paper,the main experimental results are given.Some discussions are made for some experimental phenomena and results,and some conclusions are drawn.     

LECR2离子源的改造及初步运行结果

The Latest developed LECR2M (Lanzhou ECR No.2 Modified)source is the updated one of LECR2(Lanzhou ECR No.2)source at IMP.It has been assembled on the low energy ion beam experimental platform to produce MCI beams for atomic physics and material pllysics experimental research.In our updating program,the structure of injection and extraction components has been modified to make the source structure more simple and effective.The hexapole magnet has also been replaced by a new hexapole magnet with higher radial field and larger inner diameter.With this updating,stronger magnetic field confinement of the ECR plasma is possible and better base vacuum condition is also achieved.LECR2M was designed to be operated at 14.5GHz.During the preliminary test.1.3emA O6 beam was extracted with the injected rf power of 1.1kW.The source has been used to deliver intense MCI beams for different experiments.After some discussion of the main features of this newly updated source,some of the typical commissioning test results of LECR2M will be presented.     

多电荷态气脉冲式ECR离子源(摘要)

A new type of pulse sources of multicharged ions,namely,a quasi-gasdynamic ECR source is propose.Its main difference from the classical ECR ion sources is a different,quasi-gasdynamic regime of plasma confinement in a magnetic trap.A zero-dimensional model was constructed that describes gas breakdown, formation of charge state distribution in a plasma,and plasma flux through the plugs of the trap.A wide spectrum of model experimental studies was covered.Plasma was produced and heated by a pulse(1ms) gyrotron at the frequency of 37.5GHz and power of 100kW in a cusp magnetic trap with magnetic field in plugs up to 2.5T.Such a trap has axisymmetric configuration and allows one to realize a quasi-gasdynamic regime of confinement with reliable stabilization of MHD perturbations.It was demonstrated that with such a confinement regime it is possible to generate multicharged ions and create intense(more than 1A/cm~2)ion fluxes through the trap plugs.Comparison of results of calculations and data of experiments shows that they are in a good agreement,which allows us to predict with a high degree of certainty creation of an ECR source of a new generation. The data obtained were used to design a pulse quasi-gasdynamic ECR ion source with pumping at the frequency of 100GHz,effective trap size lm,average ion charge in plasma comparable with that in the best classical MCI ECR sources but with an order of magnitude higher flux density and absolute magnitude of plasma flux through trap plugs.Creation of intense plasma fluxes allows one to extract high-current MCI beams of high brightness.Transverse homogeneity of a plasma flux makes it possible to use multi-aperture extraction system for formation on broad intense MCI beams.     

Texas的14.5GHzECR离子源

A new plasma chamber for the Texas A&M 14.5GHz ECR ion source ECR2 has been recently installed and the beam analysis line has been recently upgraded with the replacement of the solenoid with a shorter Glaser lens.The source is now used along with the 6.4GHz ECRl for injection of beams into the K500 cyclotron.The new plasma chamber incorporates water-carrying copper tubes,each with an inner diameter of 0.7mm and all outer diameter of 1.8mm.interposed between the NbFeB permanent magnets and the aluminum plasma-chamber wall.The design allows for a much higher water flow and thus better cooling than the previous design,which used a thin,water-cooled liner.The source commissioning and operation is described.     

CARIBU: a new facility for the study of neutron-rich isotopes

The Californium Rare Ion Breeder Upgrade (CARIBU) to the ATLAS superconducting linac facility is currently being commissioned. It provides low-energy and re-accelerated beams of neutron-rich isotopes obtained from ²⁵²Cf fission. The fission products from a ²⁵²Cf source are stopped in a large high-intensity gas catcher, thermalized and extracted through an RFQ cooler, accelerated to 50 kV and mass separated in a high-resolution separator before being sent to either an ECR charge breeder for post-acceleration through the ATLAS linac or to a low-energy experimental area. This approach gives access to beams of very neutron-rich isotopes, many of which have not been available at low or Coulomb barrier energies previously. These beams provide unique opportunities for measurements along the r-process path. To take advantage of these unique possibility, the reaccelerated beams from CARIBU will be made available at the experimental stations of ATLAS to serve equipment such as Gammasphere, HELIOS and the reaction spectrometers. In addition, the Canadian Penning Trap (CPT) mass spectrometer has been moved to the CARIBU low-energy experimental area and a new injection line has been built. The new injection line consists of a RFQ buncher sitting on a 50 kV high-voltage platform that will accumulate the mass separated 50 kV radioactive beams, cool and extract them as a pulsed beam of 3 keV. This beam can be sent either to a tape station for diagnostics and tuning, or a cryogenic linear trap for preparation before transfer to the high-precision Penning trap where the mass measurements will take place. Initial CARIBU commissioning is proceeding with a 2 mCi source that will be replaced by a 100 mCi source as the commissioning proceeds. Final operation will use a 1 Ci source and attain yield in excess of 10⁷ ions/sec for the most intense beams at low energy, an order of magnitude less for reaccelerated beams.
