Abstract

A laser ion source is known as a high current high charge state heavy ion source. But, we place great emphasis on the capability to realize a high brightness ion source. A laser ion source has a pinpoint small volume where materials are ionized and can achieve quite uniform low temperature ion beam. Those features may enable us to realize very small emittance beams. Furthermore, a low charge state high brightness laser ion source was successfully commissioned in Brookhaven National Laboratory in 2014. Now most of all the solid based heavy ions are being provided from the laser ion source for regular operation.

Performance on the low charge state laser ion source in BNL

Conference Okamura, M. ; Alessi, J. ; Beebe, E. ; ...

On March 2014, a Laser Ion Source (LIS) was commissioned which delivers high-brightness, low-charge-state heavy ions for the hadron accelerator complex in Brookhaven National Laboratory (BNL). Since then, the LIS has provided many heavy ion species successfully. The low-charge-state (mostly singly charged) beams are injected to the Electron Beam Ion Source (EBIS), where ions are then highly ionized to fit to the following accelerator’s Q/M acceptance, like Au³²⁺. Recently we upgraded the LIS to be able to provide two different beams into EBIS on a pulse-to-pulse basis. Now the LIS is simultaneously providing beams for both the Relativistic Heavy Ionmore »« less

Preliminary result of rapid solenoid for controlling heavy-ion beam parameters of laser ion source

Journal Article Okamura, M. ; Sekine, M. ; Ikeda, S. ; ... - Laser and Particle Beams

To realize a heavy ion inertial fusion driver, we have studied a possibility of laser ion source (LIS). A LIS can provide high current high brightness heavy ion beams, however it was difficult to manipulate the beam parameters. To overcome the issue, we employed a pulsed solenoid in the plasma drift section and investigated the effect of the solenoid field on singly charged iron beams. The rapid ramping magnetic field could enhance limited time slice of the current and simultaneously the beam emittance changed accordingly. This approach may also useful to realize an ion source for HIF power plant.

Ultra High Brightness Plasma Ion Source for SIMS Imaging of Actinides at the Theoretical Resolution Limit (Final Report)

Technical Report Smith, Noel Simon

This project was aimed at providing a radical improvement in ion beam technology that could be applied to the mass spectrometric analysis of actinides. The state-of-the-art secondary ion mass spectrometers (SIMS) have largely employed the duoplasmatron ion source for many decades to create the primary ion beam for actinide analysis. The duoplasmatron only has sufficient optical brightness to create oxygen focused ion beams as small as 200nm in diameter, with an ion beam current of ~0.5pA. However, to achieve this small beam diameter, the duoplasmatron has also had to operate with an ion optical column that has been designed tomore »« less

Design study of primary ion provider for relativistic heavy ion collider electron beam ion source

Journal Article Kondo, K ; Radiation Laboratory, RIKEN, Saitama 351-0198 ; Collider-Accelerator Department, Brookhaven National Laboratory, Upton, New York 11973 ; ... - Review of Scientific Instruments

Brookhaven National Laboratory has developed the new preinjector system, electron beam ion source (EBIS) for relativistic heavy ion collider (RHIC) and National Aeronautics and Space Administration Space Radiation Laboratory. Design of primary ion provider is an essential problem since it is required to supply beams with different ion species to multiple users simultaneously. The laser ion source with a defocused laser can provide a low charge state and low emittance ion beam, and is a candidate for the primary ion source for RHIC-EBIS. We show a suitable design with appropriate drift length and solenoid, which helps to keep sufficient totalmore »« less
