Contributed Oral Presentation

This study reports the results of kinetic plasma simulations of the Electron Cyclotron Resonance Ion Plasma Accelerator (ECRIPAC). ECRIPAC* is an original compact plasma accelerator capable of producing high-energy pulsed ion beams by leveraging established and reliable ECR ion source technologies, without the need for axial radiofrequency cavities or high-power laser systems. The concept is...

47. Methods to reduce the computation time and memory to calculate the plasma potential in electron cyclotron resonance ion source

The Debye length in an ECRIS plasma can be as low as tens of micrometers while the confining plasma chambers are tens of centimeters in extent. Resolving the Debye length when solving the Poisson equation on a mesh inside these chambers requires an extremely fine mesh density, requiring large amounts of computer memory and resulting in long solution times. Methods to reduce the mathematical...

17. Optical emission spectroscopy diagnostic for beam monitoring in ion sources

Alexis Ribet (Grand Accélérateur National d'Ions Lourds)

Contributed Oral Presentation

Non-interceptive online diagnostics are essential for monitoring ion sources, particularly during physics experiments. Optical emission spectroscopy, already used in other laboratories, has been deployed at GANIL. The light emitted by the plasma is captured by a CCD camera placed behind a glass window aligned with the ion source and by an optical fiber connected to an optical spectrometer...

41. X-ray Imaging and Spectroscopy Technique via Pin-Hole camera on 3rd generation ECR Ion Source Plasmas

Bianca Peri (Istituto Nazionale di Fisica Nucleare, Laboratori Nazionali del Sud)

Contributed Oral Presentation

The PANDORA (Plasmas for Astrophysics, Nuclear decay Observation and Radiation for Archaeometry) project features magnetized plasmas in compact ECR traps as experimental environments for fundamental astrophysics and nuclear physics. A new algorithm for X-ray imaging in Single-Photon Counting mode was adopted, enabling space-resolved spectroscopy for magneto plasma properties investigations...
