Description

An electron-cyclotron-resonance ion source (ECRIS) operating in the afterglow mode allows to produce pulsed highly charged ion beams. We present a characterization of the first production of pulsed Ar17+ ions from an ECRIS using X-ray spectroscopy techniques. An ion current increase of a factor 3-4 compared to the continuous operating mode with a short rise time (< 100 μ s) and a full width at half maximum of 500 μ s has been obtained.
