Electron Cyclotron Resonance (ECR) ion sources have been a cornerstone of ion beam production at TRIUMF for many years. ECR ion sources support a broad range of research programs through the delivery of a diverse suite of stable isotope beams from the “Supernanogan” at the Off-Line Ion Sources (OLIS) facility, and through the Charge State Booster (CSB) which promotes radioactive ion beams...

Ion source extraction modelling is commonly performed using IBSIMU, which couples non-linear sheath equations with a Poisson solver and self-consistently includes particle space charge. This approach has been widely applied using measured or fitted plasma parameters. In some ion sources, the extraction lens uses of boron nitride (BN) liners, which can enhance plasma density through electron...

Third-generation electron cyclotron resonance (ECR) ion sources utilize superconducting magnets to achieve the enhanced plasma confinement necessary to produce intense, highly-charged ion beams. However, since plasma density increases proportionally with the square of resonance frequency, the higher radiofrequency (RF) and higher power used to heat the plasma produce a greater number of very...

LUTEX (Ligne pour UTilisateurs EXternes) is a high performance irradiation facility providing the world’s largest testing area (400 × 700 $mm^2$). It delivers light-ion beams with very high fluxes at 300 keV/u (∼5000km/s) for H+ up to 4×$10^{9}$ protons/$cm^2$/s. This enables rapid reproduction of extreme exposure conditions and allows for short time qualification of a material lifetime. For...

The Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory's (SAO) Electron Beam Ion Trap (EBIT) traps highly charged ions for astrophysical spectroscopy. Elements are injected as neutral gas or singly charged ions via a Metal Vapor Vacuum Arc (MeVVA) source, then successively ionized by a dense, quasi-monoenergetic electron beam. At high beam currents, the beam's space charge draws MeVVA ions into the EBIT's...
