Operation of the ORNL ECR (Electron Cyclotron Resonance) source

Conference ·
OSTI ID:6679080

The ORNL ECR multicharged ion source, dedicated for studying the atomic physics interactions of multicharged ions with atoms, ions, electrons, and surfaces has been in operation since 1984. High charge state ion beams ranging from fully stripped light ions (up to Ne) to up to 40% stripped heavy ions (A approx. 200) have bee produced. Ion beams of the metallic elements developed to date include Cr, Fe, Ni, Ta, and Au, and are obtained by the use of a solid feed technique.
