The ECRIS facility at BARC and its utilization for low energy nuclear reactions and fast neutron production

A high current Electron Cyclotron Resonance Ion Source (ECRIS) has been installed at the Bhabha Atomic Research Centre, Mumbai. This ECRIS is capable of delivering a wide range of ion beams with typical species including p,d,⁴He and ¹⁶O produced with emA currents. It operates at 30 kV extraction voltage on the 300 kV platform, providing a maximum energy of 330 keV per charge state of the ion. Low energy nuclear reaction experiments and ion-induced atomic physics experiments have already been initiated with this facility at the Centre. Some of the recently published results from the low energy nuclear reaction experiments carried out at the ECRIS and the layout and details of the schemes for producing multi-energy fast neutrons is presented in this talk
