Ion-optical scheme for a portable high-sensitivity mass spectrograph

An ion-optical scheme that allows for a considerable improvement of the sensitivity and speed of a mass spectrograph is suggested. These ends are accomplished by appropriately choosing the parameters of an electrostatic capacitor and the shape and location of a magnetic lens, as well as by using an original multichannel linear sectional detector. The numerical simulation of the detector is carried out. It is shown that rapid analysis of multicomponent mixtures in a wide mass range, along with a substantial extension of the dynamic range of a signal recorded, is a possibility. The basic parameters of a mass analyzer based on the scheme suggested are verified experimentally, and the results obtained are discussed.     

Distribution of Ir and Pt isotopes produced as fragments of 1 A GeV Au projectiles: a thermometer for peripheral nuclear collisions

Cross sections of iridium and platinum isotopes have been measured, which were produced as fragments from ¹⁹⁷Au projectiles interacting with aluminum target nuclei at 1 A GeV. The fragments were identified by a kinematic analysis (ΔE−Bρ-time-of-flight) and by an ion-optical separation at the projectile-fragment separator FRS at GSI. Indications are found for high excitation energies and weak proton-neutron correlations in the peripheral nuclear-collision process.     

Status of the energy-buncher in the low-energy branch of the Super-FRS

An ion-optical study on the layout of the so-called energy-buncher stage in the low-energy branch of the planned fragment separator Super-FRS is presented. The main purpose of the energy-buncher is a significant reduction of the energy spread of the `hot' fragments at the exit of the separator. Alternatively, the central unit of the buncher—a large dispersive dipole system—can be used as a high-resolution spectrometer for secondary products of nuclear reactions. The proposed design provides a large degree of flexibility for different experimental scenarios with slowed-down low-energy or stopped exotic isotopes.     

HIAF-SRing的等时性模式光学设计

高精度环形谱仪SRing作为HIAF装置的核心之一,是获取高品质放射性次级束,并将束流用于加速器技术研究、原子物理及核物理实验的关键设备。SRing有三种运行模式:等时性模式、正常模式与内靶模式。等时性模式下,SRing运行在特殊线性光学设置下,可以精确测量寿命低至几十微秒的原子核的质量。介绍SRing等时性模式的线性光学及高阶项校正的设计方案。在使用程序GICOSY进行等时性高阶项校正数值计算后,将得到的光学传输矩阵输入到程序MOCADI进行粒子跟踪模拟。以γ_t=1.43的等时性模式为例,SRing的动量接收度为±0.20%,粒子跟踪结果显示,在仅满足一阶等时性条件时SRing的质量分辨能力R=1.6×104。在保证动量接收度不变的前提下,考虑了等时性高阶项校正后SRing的质量分辨能力提高到R=1.2×106,达到设计要求。The Spectrometer Ring, as the most important experiment terminal of the High Intensity heavy-ion Accelerator Facility (HIAF) project, is a key device to obtain high-quality radioactive ion beams (RIBs) for atomic physics, nuclear physics experiments and accelerator technology researches. Three operation modes including the isochronous mode, the normal mode and the internal target mode, have been designed for the SRing. In the isochronous mode, the SRing operates under a special ion optics and could be used for precision mass measurement of short-lived nuclei with half-life shorter than several tens of microseconds. This study aims to design the ion optics for the isochronous mode and improve the mass resolving power of the SRing with higher-order ion-optical correction scheme for isochronism while preserve a large momentum acceptance of SRing. The ion optics and the higher-order correction for the isochronous mode are calculated with the code MAD-X and GICOSY respectively. Three ion optics with γ_t=1.43, 1.67, 1.83 settings have been calculated. The code MCOADI which utilizes the matrixes generated by the code GICOSY is used for particles tracking to verify the correction results. For the ion-optical setting of γ_t=1.43 with a momentum acceptance of ±0.20%, the mass resolving power of the SRing could be improved from R=1.6×104 to R=1.2×106, after isochronous higher-order corrections.     

Numerical Modeling of Ion-Optical Systems for Extraction of a Beam of Negative Hydrogen Ions and Its Acceleration and Matching with a Radio-Frequency Quadrupole Accelerator

A source of negative hydrogen ions is constructed at the Institute for High Energy Physics in order to raise the intensity of the U-70 accelerator complex using multiturn charge-exchange injection. The 3D ion-optical IBSimu simulation package was used to model and optimize the system for extraction of an ion beam from plasma, its acceleration to 100 keV, and matching with a radio-frequency quadrupole (RFQ) accelerator. The system of extraction of an ion beam with a current of 50 mA and electron-flow suppression was modeled. The magnetic transport channels with two solenoids and six quadrupole lenses were compared. The end goals of analysis of the matching channel were to obtain the needed Twiss parameters and to minimize the emittance growth at the RFQ input.     

Xenon nano-beams for materials research

The advantage of focused Xe⁺ beams over other rare gas species have been investigated [Zhukov, V.; Kalbitzer, S. Russ. Microelectron. 2011, 40 (1), 17–24]. In particular, the higher operation temperature of a super-tip gas field ion source for xenon ions is one outstanding technical feature. The properties of focused Xe⁺ beams are estimated with special reference to optimised ion-optical transport systems. Applications to both ion beam materials modification and ion beam materials analysis are outlined.     

Ion source with electron ionization for a portable mass spectrometer

An ion source with electron ionization is considered. The charged-particle flow at the exit from this source has a cross section of ∼0.1 × 0.1 mm, an angle spread of 2° × 2°, a relative energy spread of <0.5%, and an energy range of 0.5–3.0 keV. This ion source is intended for systems where an ion beam is focused in two mutually perpendicular directions. The ion source design makes it possible to ionize a sample locally (in a volume of ∼10 mm³), where the concentration of the particles under study exceeds the concentration averaged over the volume of the vacuum chamber of the mass spectrometer by two to three orders of magnitude. The ion-optical properties of the source are numerically simulated, and the optimum parameters of the source are chosen. Examples of the application of the ion source are given for the mass-spectrometric determination of metal salts in aqueous solutions and of gases and volatile compounds in samples in various phase states.     

Optimization of the probe-forming system for a scanning nuclear microprobe based on the ÉGP-10 electrostatic tandem accelerator

The probe-forming system of a nuclear scanning microprobe based on the parametric multiplets of quadrupole lenses is optimized. The optimization is aimed at creating an ion probe with energy of several MeV that produces a micrometer spot on the target at a current of ∼100 pA. The influence of different geometric and physical parameters on the ion-optical properties of the probe-forming systems considered is determined. The optimization is carried out by varying the parameters specifying a given parametric multiplet, and its efficiency is found from a quality criterion that takes into account the beam current for given sizes of the spot and target. The beam parameters at the entrance to and at the exit from the éGP-10 electrostatic tandem accelerator (produced by the VNIIéF) are involved in the optimizing calculations. These are the maximal energy, normalized brightness, transport conditions, and chromatic inhomogeneity of the beam (i.e., the energy straggling of beam particles). Allowance is also made for the parasitic components of the magnetic quadrupole lens field, which arise because of quadrupole symmetry breaking by technological and physical reasons.
