40. Towards a >40 GHz ECR Ion Source with Nb3Sn Magnets: Fabrication and Performance of a Mirror Magnet with a Prototype Nb3Sn Sextupole Coil

Tengming Shen (Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory)

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...

32. Design and Modeling of the Superconducting Magnet System of an ECRIS for Applications in Graphene Doping

Marco Antonio Ortiz Villicaña (Universidad Autónoma de Zacatecas "Francisco García Salinas")

Contributed Oral Presentation

Electron Cyclotron Resonance Ion Sources (ECRIS) are devices capable to provide a constant flow of ions at high currents. The ions extracted from the ECRIS can be used in material doping applications. In this paper, we present the design of an ECRIS magnetic system for graphene doping. The design is based in the use of Cable-In-Conduit superconducting cable and a superferric sextupole. This...

12. Ultracompact Low-Power ECR Sources: Bridging Micro-Scale Plasma and Industrial Beam Applications

Jerome Vernieres (Cameca (France))

Contributed Oral Presentation

Recent developments at CAMECA build on the pioneering work of P. Sortais on ultracompact Electron Cyclotron Resonance (ECR) micro-sources, extended into the TES (Tubular ECR Sources) family. These devices rely on microwave-driven micro-cavity discharges operating at very low power (~1 W), defining a regime that departs from conventional ECR sources requiring tens to hundreds of watts.

2. CUBE-ECRIS - lessons learned

Olli Tarvainen (Science and Technology Facilities Council)

Contributed Oral Presentation

CUBE-ECRIS is a permanent magnet prototype ion source operating at 11 GHz frequency. It was constructed to (1) study the electron heating and the stability of the plasma in a minimum-B quadrupole magnetic field topology, (2) demonstrate high-charge state ion production and beam transport from the quadrupole field through an extraction slit, and (3) support the development of a net-zero...
