Discharge characteristics of the DUHOCAMIS with a high magnetic bottle-shaped field

For the purpose of producing high intensity, multiply charged metal ion beams, the dual hollow cathode ion source for metal ions (DUHOCAMIS) was derived from the hot cathode Penning ion source combined with the hollow cathode sputtering experiments in 2007. To investigate the behavior of this discharge geometry in a stronger magnetic bottle-shaped field, a new test bench for DUHOCAMIS with a high magnetic bottle-shaped field up to 0.6 T has been set up at the Peking University. The experiments with magnetic fields from 0.13 T to 0.52 T have indicated that the discharge behavior is very sensitive to the magnetic flux densities. The slope of discharge curves in a very wide range can be controlled by changing the magnetic field as well as regulated by adjusting the cathode heating power; the production of metallic ions would be much greater than gas ions with the increased magnetic flux density; and the magnetic field has a much higher influence on the DHCD mode than on the PIG mode.     

广西合浦独木舟放射性碳定年

为了确定在广西合浦县发现的古独木舟的年代,利用北京大学的小加速器质谱计对4个取自独木舟不同部位的木头样品进行了14C年代测定,结果表明,此独木舟的14C年龄为(365±20)BP.经14C-树轮年代校正曲线校正后,表明独木舟建造的日历年龄在1460～1580 AD(2σ的置信区间).
