Description

This poster presents the technical improvements and experimental
characterisation of a hybrid superconducting
18GHZ Electron Cyclotron Resonance Ion Source (ECRIS)
manufactured by Pantechnik. Since the last one manufactured
in 2011, the source has undergone significant upgrades
to enhance its performance and reliability for heavy ion
beam production. Key improvements include optimisation
of the magnetic confinement system, aiming to increase the
production of highly charged ions while maintaining stable
operation at high RF power levels. An extensive experimental
campaign is currently underway at Pantechnik’s facilities
to characterise the source performance on a selection of ions
(N, Al, Ar, Au, Pb) and the goal of demonstrating stable
Xe28+ and Ta36+ beams.
