Contributed Oral Presentation

Superconducting electron cyclotron resonance (ECR) ion sources are in operation around the world for heavy ion accelerators. These sources rely on magnets wound using Nb-Ti conductors. Due to its higher magnetic field limits, Nb3Sn conductors can result in a magnet providing stronger magnetic fields to enable higher intensity high charge beams. In this context, LBNL is collaborating with the...

28. Progress on the Magnetic-Field Profile Upgrade of the Texas A&M 14.5 GHz ECR Ion Source (MOB2)

Contributed Oral Presentation

An upgrade of the magnetic field profile of the Texas A&M 14.5 GHz electron cyclotron resonance ion source, ECR2, is underway, guided by well-established magnetic-field scaling rules. The axial magnetic field at the injection end has been increased by installation of a modified lower-carbon steel plug and replacement of the aluminum biased disk with a steel one. The radial field is being...

46. Recent Beam Production Improvements and Upgrades of the ATLAS ECR Ion Sources (MOB3)

Contributed Oral Presentation

The Argonne Tandem Linac Accelerator System (ATLAS) continues to receive requests for increasing beam intensities, energies, species, and time on target. Over the past few years, most of the ion beams delivered to experiments have been produced by the two ATLAS Electron Cyclotron Resonance Ion Sources (ECRIS), ECR2 and ECR3. While demands increase, the ATLAS team continues to make improvements...
