The Constance B mirror as a source of highly stripped ions
Technical Report
·
OSTI ID:6495302
The potential of the Constance B mirror as a source of highly stripped ions for fundamental atomic physics research is described. The hot electron, cold ion plasma (ntau > 2 x 10/sup 11/ cm/sup -3/-s, T/sub eh/=400 keV, T/sub i/ < 20 eV) created by electron cyclotron resonance heating (ECRH) is characterized by a confinement time which is long compared to the ionization for many high Z ions. Calculations indicate that helium-like argon will be formed in Constance when the pressure is reduced to 10/sup -8/ torr during the decay of the hot electrons. A 28 GHz upgrade machine in which Xe/sup +50/ could be produced, is also described.
