A Monte Carlo (MC) code dedicated to the electron dynamics in ECRIS was recently completed with a new functionality, allowing to simulate Bremsstrahlung photon emission from the volume interaction of electrons with charged particles inside the plasma. The simulation qualitatively reproduces the experimental anisotropy of the photon spectral temperature previously reported. The effects of...
This contribution deals with the upcoming PANDORA (Plasmas for Astrophysics, Nuclear Decay Observations and Radiation for Archaeometry) facility*, at INFN-LNS, Catania. PANDORA aims at measuring β-radioactivity rates and chemical element opacity in plasmas produced in an electron cyclotron resonance ion trap (ECRIT). The beta-decay rates are expected to vary of several orders of magnitude in a...
The VENUS electron cyclotron resonance (ECR) ion source uses injected 18 and 28 GHz microwave power to resonantly energize electrons for plasma ionization. Waveguide antennas detecting 18 and 28 GHz microwaves located after the extraction electrode exit aperture of the source are used to measure the transmitted microwave power under different source and plasma conditions. In addition, an...
