Design of a 2.45 GHz ECR Ion Source for Production of Medium Charge States Ions

Conference ·
OSTI ID:6372

At Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory we are constructing an ECR ion source test facility for nuclear science experiments. For this purpose a single-stage 2.45 GHz electron cyclotron resonance ion source has been designed and fabricated. It features an axial magnetic field with a mirror ratio of up to 5.5 and a hexapole field produced by a novel Nd-Fe-B permanent magnet assembly. In order to enhance the ion confinement time the source plasma volume has been enlarged as much as possible while still maintaining a high mirror ratio. This paper describes the design of the source. Ion optics simulation of the extraction system currently under design will also be presented.
