Description

Nusano’s proprietary electron cyclotron resonance ion source has been commissioned with a magnetic Low Energy Beam Transport (LEBT) system operating at an extraction voltage of up to 60 kV. The LEBT has been used to diagnose, characterize, transport, and tune the beam extracted from the ion source. Initial results from deuteron beam operation will be presented, including measured beam transmission across the LEBT and characterization of the electrostatic chopper located upstream of the Radio-Frequency Quadrupole (RFQ). A standalone beam-tuning station design has also enabled rapid validation of beam through the RFQ. These measurements inform data-driven improvements to the operation and design of future ion source and LEBT upgrades.
