Abstract

Improvements are presented in calutron devices and, more specifically, dealswith an improved mounting arrangement fer the ion source of the calutron. An important feature of the invention resides in a pluraiity of insulators so mounted as to be accessible from the exterior of the calutron tank and supporting at their inner ends the ion source. These insutators are arranged in mutually parallel relation and also parallel to the flux of the nmgnetic field, whereby the strain of the supporting elements is reduced to a minimum. In addition the support assembly is secured to a removable wall portion of the task to facilitate withdrawal and examination of the ion producing mechanism.

IMPROVED ION-PRODUCING MECHANISM FOR CALUTRONS

Patent Bell, W.A. Jr.; Prater, W.K.

An ion source for electromagnetically operated equipment for the separation of isotopes, such as the Calutron, wherein a unitized construction is employed to house both the arc chamber and the oven chamber to facilitate assembly and maintenance and to improve operation. ( LAMBDA EC)
Ion producing mechanism

Patent Oppenheimer, F. F.

This patent pertains to calutrons and more particularly to means for introducing gas at selected points in the arc chamber of a calutron source to remedy unsteadiness in the arc. The disclosed ion source has a baffle at the gas entrance in the arc chamber for directing part of the gas flow toward the anode end of the chamber. The resulting arc is much steadier, resulting in an ion beam of increased current.

ION PRODUCING MECHANISM (CHARGE CUPS)

Patent Brobeck, W.W.

The problems of confining a charge material in a calutron and uniformly distributing heat to the charge is described. The charge is held in a cup of thermally conductive material removably disposed within the charge chamber of the ion source block. A central thermally conducting stem is incorporated within the cup for conducting heat to the central portion of the charge contained within the cup.
ION PRODUCING MECHANISM

Patent Oppenheimer, F.F.

A calutron ion source is described which masks the ends of the arc to provide a more stable beam from the middle portion. The masking is effected by milling the arc slit in a single sheet of material which is secured to the open face of the arc block. (T.R.H.)
