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.

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...
