14. Critical Progresses on Low-cost Compact Carbon Positive Ion Mass Spectrometry (C-PIMS) at Peking University

ShiXiang Peng (Peking University)

28/09/2026, 11:00

Contributed Oral Presentation

Positive Ion Mass Spectrometry (PIMS) represents an advanced methodology for radiocarbon dating, operating on principles distinct from those of Accelerator Mass Spectrometry (AMS). Current research mainly focuses on the miniaturization carbon ion source and high charge exchanging cell for a prototype PIMS system. At Peking University (PKU), several PIMS-related experiments have recently...

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

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

Jake McLain (Argonne National Laboratory)

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...
