EBIT: Electron beam ion trap
Conference
·
OSTI ID:6450993
An Electron Beam Ion Trap (EBIT) has been built as an instrument for in situ studies of atomic physics. Based on the EBIS concept, EBIT incorporates several novel features including ion cooling using light ions and plasma instability control using a short trap length. To understand the operation of EBIT, measurements have been made of the electron beam behavior. The radius of the beam is observed to follow Herrmann Theory during compression. The electron beam displays an energy dispersion that is larger than theory. However, this energy dispersion is only about 15% of the electron temperature in the trap due to the adiabatic compression of the beam. 21 refs., 7 figs.
