MOCOCK05 | Multigan®: a New Multicharged Ion Source Based on Axisymetric Magnetic Structure | 37 |
|
||
Standard ECR ion sources have radial magnetic field created by a multi-pole, e.g. hexapole or higher order, which fills all space in the center of the source structure. Based on the Monogan® ECRIS [1] concept, a new multicharged ECR ions source has been designed with a large opening space in the center of the source structure. This particular design allows, in a first approach, direct radial contact with the ECR plasma, allowing positioning of probes and targets for radioactive beam production very close to the plasma region. Secondly, the absence of a multi-pole allows considering extremely high magnetic fields with significantly smaller structural constraints. This source is combining the advantages of the axisymetric magnetic feature of Monogan® with higher frequencies. This paper will describe the magnetic structure calculation as well as the mechanical design and stresses of a full permanent magnet ion source using this concept. This source will be the first prototype of such an ECR ion source. Finally, using TrapCad code [2], an estimation of the electronic energy distribution has been calculated and thus, the performance of the source has been deduced. The beam formation and extraction were also roughly calculated taking into account magnetic and electric fields.

MOPOT013 | MONOBOB II : Latest Results of Monocharged Ion Source for SPIRAL2 Project | 64 |
|
||
MONOBOB II is an electron cyclotron resonance ion source (ECRIS) based on a cylindrical symmetry magnetic structure [1]. It has been designed for the SPIRAL2 project in order to ionize radioactive gases coming from the production targets of the Target Ion Source System (TISS). The goal is to build a long-lived ECRIS with the aim of running three months in the hostile environment of the production target while keeping high ionization efficiencies. The Target Ion Source System has been tested using noble gases (He, Ne, Ar, Kr and Xe), with and without target in order to observe the behavior of the source coupled to the target. Currently, the target is made of ~1000 carbon slices, having the same geometry as the final UCx target. So far, its temperature has been limited to 1500°C. Ionization efficiencies and response times of the TISS have been measured versus gases and target temperature [2]. Results should lead to determine the maximum radioactive ion production which can be reasonably expected with the final TISS. The status of this development will be presented. | ||
