Description

RAON is a heavy-ion accelerator facility at the Institute for Basic Science, designed to provide high-intensity ion beams with a maximum beam power of up to 400 kW. Currently, various ion beams, such as Ar and Ne, are delivered using a 14.5 GHz electron cyclotron resonance ion source. To meet future beam requirements, a 28 GHz ECR ion source is being prepared at RAON. The ion source consists of a superconducting magnet system and is designed to operate with both 18 GHz and 28 GHz RF systems. As part of the commissioning process, magnet ramp-up tests have been performed, and the beam extraction and low-energy beam transport systems are being prepared. The extracted beam will be transported using an electrostatic quadrupole system, and the beam current will be measured with a Faraday cup. This poster presents the current preparation and commissioning status of the 28 GHz ECR ion source, including the superconducting magnet, RF system, beam extraction and transport components, diagnostics, control system, and planned commissioning activities.
