Description
We present here simulations of ALISES 3, a single-charged Electron Cyclotron Resonance (ECR) ion source developed at CEA, and comparisons with experiments. This source can produce high-intensity proton beams. Using commercial simulation tools, we simulate the key physical parameters such as the RF, magnetic, and electrostatic fields, as well as particle dynamics. These simulations describe particle behavior and interactions (collisions, RF heating, ionization processes…). We aim at proposing a comprehensive numerical model of a single-charge ECR source. These developments will enable the optimization of key ECR ion source parameters, including beam intensity, source lifetime, and emittances. Experiments with the actual source are presented at the end.
