45. First Results from the Nusano 60 kV ECR Ion Source and Low-Energy Beam Transport System

Ruoyu Fang (Nusano)

01/10/2026, 09:00

Contributed Oral Presentation

Nusano’s proprietary electron cyclotron resonance ion source has been commissioned with a magnetic Low Energy Beam Transport (LEBT) system operating at an extraction voltage of up to 60 kV. The LEBT has been used to diagnose, characterize, transport, and tune the beam extracted from the ion source. Initial results from deuteron beam operation will be presented, including measured beam...

43. Advances in beam line diagnostics for the VENUS ion source

Jessica Rehak (Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory)

01/10/2026, 09:30

Contributed Oral Presentation

An essential part of electron cyclotron resonance (ECR) ion source optimization and operation is the analysis of extracted ion beams. Reliable and accurate beam line analysis of the multi-species ion beam provides a vital indicator of ECR operation. In this work, we present new developments and improvements to beam line diagnostic tools developed for the VENUS ion source at Lawrence Berkeley...

48. Learning Hidden Plasma and Transport States from Operational Data in the FRIB ECR Ion Source

Luciano Silvestri (Facility for Rare Isotope Beams)

01/10/2026, 10:00

Contributed Oral Presentation

This contribution presents initial efforts towards a machine-learning framework for estimating latent ECR source states from operational data collected at the Facility for Rare Isotope Beams (FRIB). The approach combines time-series measurements from source controls, beam transport elements, and current diagnostics to infer hidden variables associated with plasma conditions, ion production,...

49. On the effective injection of neutral material into an ECR plasma

Damon Todd (Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory)

Contributed Oral Presentation

There is agreement in the field that highly-charged ions are more prevalent on axis in an electron cyclotron resonance (ECR) ion source. Since the net radial diffusion is outward, it would seem to follow that injecting material into the ECR plasma (especially expensive, low-abundance material) nearer the axis would be advantageous. In this paper we give a progress report on our attempts and...
