WEYO03 | Ion Beam Extraction from Magnetized Plasma | 106 |
|
||
With increasing the total extracted current for any ion source, the optimisation of the extraction system becomes more important, because of the space charge effect. Several attempts have been made in the past to simulate the extraction from an Electron Cyclotron Resonance Ion Source (ECRIS) in a correct way. Most of these attempts failed, because they were not able to reproduce the experimental results. The best model up to now is given by the following procedure: tracing the magnetic field lines through the extraction aperture, looking where these field lines are coming from; using these coordinates of the magnetic field line as starting points for ions to be extracted; the initial current of each trajectory is determined by theoretical assumptions about the plasma or by a plasma simulation; Child's law is applicable locally only in direction of the magnetic field, if no emission limited flow is present. | ||

WEZO03 | Recent Results of PHOENIX V2 and New Prospects with PHOENIX V3 | 117 |

Funding: This work is partially funded by the European Commission under the 7th Framework Programme Grant Agreement 283745 (CRISP) The 18 GHz PHOENIX V2 ECRIS is running since 2010 on the heavy ions low energy beam transport line (LEBT) of SPIRAL2 installed at LPSC Grenoble. PHOENIX V2 will be the starting ion source of SPIRAL 2 at GANIL. The status and future developments of this source are presented in this paper. Recent studies with Oxygen and Argon beams at 60 kV have demonstrated reliable operation at 1.3 emA of O6+ and 200 eμA of Ar12+. Metallic ion beam production has been studied with the Large Capacity Oven developed by GANIL and 20 eμA of Ni19+ have been obtained. In order to improve further the beam intensities for Spiral2, an economical upgrade of the source named PHOENIX V3 has been recently decided by the project management. The goal is to double the plasma chamber volume from 0.6 to 1.2 liter by increasing the chamber wall radius, keeping the whole magnetic confinement intensity unchanged. The PHOENIX V3 magnetic design will be presented along with a status of the project. |
