Design of new 18GHz ECR ion source

  • 1. RIKEN Nishina Center for Accelerator-Based Science, Wako, Saitama (Japan)

Description

In RIKEN RIBF, we plan to install a new 18 GHz ECR ion source, which supply the intense beam of highly charged heavy ion beam into the linear accelerator RILAC. By equipping two ion sources, it is expected to be able to develop new beams while we produce the beam for the experiment of RIBF. Based on the structure of 18 GHz ECR ion source which have been developed in RIKEN, this ion source has additional features as follows. Owing to three solenoid coils, Bext can be adjusted while Bmin is fixed to an optimum value. We adopt the variable frequency (17.2-18.4 GHz) RF power source, therefore, further enhancement of the beam intensity is expected because the frequency band suited to a size of plasma chamber is selectable. In order to simplify the maintenance work, we improved a structure of the chamber. In this contribution, we report the design of new ion source in detail.
