    Notes: An ECR ion source is converted to produce a beryllium fluoride beam, which will be stripped to 7Be+2 beam and used in 7Be(p,γ)8B experiments at ISAC. The source consists of an injection chemical chamber and a plasma chamber. Chemically purified (99.9%) BeO is placed in the chemical chamber which can be heated up to 1000 °C. A CF4 leak connected to that chamber serves as the source of CF4 for the reaction to produce BeF2. The BeF2 is then injected into the hot electron layer region of the plasma chamber to enhance the ionization efficiency. A detailed source description, beam parameters and ionization efficiency measurements are presented in this paper. © 1998 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: An on-line emittance–mass scanner (EMS), with a size of 10 cm×10 cm×8 cm, has been developed for use with low energy and light ion beams (A〈40) at TRIUMF. Computerized data acquisition and procession give the rms emittances, intensities, and contour plots of each beam component. The angular resolution of the scanner is ±1.0 mrad, the maximum divergence of each component that the scanner can take is 140 mrad. Some experimental results of the measurement are given. The comparison between the contour shapes and the values of the emittance measured by both the emittance scanner and EMS is in good agreement. © 1996 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: A 2.45 GHz electron cyclotron resonance (ECR) ion source with a single mode resonator is being developed to produce high efficient single charged ion beams from exiguous gaseous elements. The source is intended to produce short and long half-life radioactive ion beams as well as stable ion beams for low and high energy experiments at ISAC [J. M. Poutissou, Proceedings of the ISAC Workshop (1994)]. It is obvious that for the radioactive ion beam production, the gas and ion transient time and the overall ionization efficiency are the most important parameters. The transient time is measured using ultrafast peizoelectric gas valve which could operate up to a frequency of 2 kHz. A unique feature of the source is that the plasma chamber is considerably smaller (∼170 times) than its resonance cavity in order to minimize the transient time. Quartz tubes with various diameters (5–20 mm) and 80 mm long are tested as the plasma chamber and the results are discussed. The effect of the transfer tube length, which links the target and the ion source on the transient time is also described. An axially symmetric five electrode extraction system containing three multiaperture electrodes was used to extract the beam. The source, including ECR coils and extraction system is placed in the middle of a 60 cm×60 cm×90 cm vacuum box to simulate the ISAC target module conditions. The preliminary results of the molecular and ion transient time studies, beam efficiency studies are also presented in this article. © 2000 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: A multicusp source for positive ion beams has been designed and constructed in collaboration with the Ion Beam Technology Department of LBNL for the TRIUMF ISAC project. This type of source has demonstrated a high yield of singly charged ions, a low energy spread, a good emittance, and is compact and simple. Several stages of tests and measurements using nonradioactive beams to characterize the source performance are being carried out both at LBNL and at TRIUMF prior to the final phase of radioactive target-source system tests. Results of these nonradioactive tests and certain problems encountered are reported and discussed in this article. © 1998 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: A microwave-driven ion source being developed at TRIUMF is designed to produce stable, reliable, and gas-efficient negative and positive ion beams for cyclotrons and other accelerators. The source has been tested for H− and achieved 2.1 mA at 0.25 π mm mrad normalized emittance for 500 W of input power at a frequency of 2.45 GHz. The source was operated over one month without interruption for a H− beam stability test and demonstrated 2.5% stability over the period. For positive beam extraction H+, He+, N+, and Ar+ species have been studied. A 2 mA N+ beam was obtained at 0.3 π mm mrad normalized emittance for 1 kW of input power. A beam density as high as 7 mA/cm2 with 45% gas efficiency has been achieved for the Ar+ beam. In this paper the source parameters and characteristics are discussed. © 1996 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: A 15 mA dc H− multicusp source has been developed for injection into a TR30 cyclotron. This source is also used with a 900 kV tandem accelerator to obtain 10 mA protons at 1.8 MeV. The program is an extension of the 5–7 mA dc H− cusp source developed at TRIUMF during 1989–1990. Major efforts include the search for the optimal filament materials, shape, and location; comparison of cusp line confinement and magnetic filtering of electrons at the extraction region; optimization of extraction lense configuration; and upgrading of vacuum and power systems capability. The source is noncesiated and the maximum arc power available is only 5 kW. After the H− beams pass through an electron suppression grid and a 20 mm collimator, we obtained 15 mA with 0.66 π mm mrad 4 rms normalized emittance. At this output the e/H ratio was about 4. The best normalized emittance occurs around 5–7 mA, having a value of 0.37 π mm mrad. Further development in the near future is planned using cesium and multiple apertures in the hope of increasing dc H− currents to 30 mA while holding the normalized emittance below 0.75 π mm mrad. © 1996 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: A 2.45 GHz electron cyclotron resonance ion source has been designed and built to ionize radioactive atoms and produce single charged ion beams for the isotope separator and accelerator at TRIUMF. The source is characterized by its short axial length (8 cm) and the small pair of magnetic coils (diam=φ26 cm) placed adjacent to the source cavity. A small diameter quartz tube is inserted in the cavity to confine the plasma to a small volume and to shorten total ion transient time for the exotic gaseous elements with short and intermediate half life. The computer code POISSON is used to design the magnetic coils. A three-electrode extraction system simulated with the code IGUNE is used to study the beam extraction efficiency. In this article the design of the source, extraction system, and the preliminary results on beam emittance and energy spread are presented; the results on ion transient time, ionization efficiency, and beam extraction efficiency are presented in a separate article. © 2000 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: An off-line microwave ion source (TE111 mode resonator at 2.45 GHz) is being developed to produce stable ion beams for ISAC commissioning as well as to produce intermediate and long half-life radioactive ion beams for initial experiments. Two different sources have been constructed and tested. In the standard source configuration the microwave power is injected and the beam is extracted on axis. In the second source microwave power is injected radially. In this case, the beam is extracted radially. Each of the sources is capable of handling gaseous, metallic and volatile compounds. A three electrode extraction system and a mass spectrometer with a resolution of 1600 are used to analyze the beams. The performance of the two sources is compared. In a number of parameters, efficiency, power requirements, tuning simplicity and lifetime, the radial source out performs the axial source. The test results with both sources are present. © 1998 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: We have reported a 15 mA dc H− multicusp source at the sixth International Ion Source Conference in 1995 at Whistler. Since then, the H− beam has been further upgraded to 20 mA for 25 kV dc extraction. The D− beam output of the new cusp source has also been measured at 25 and 12.5 kV energies. An 8 mA D− peak current at 25 kV with 0.5 π mm mrad normalized 4 rms emittance has been obtained. Special attention was given to the effects of gas flow, pumping speed, and neutralization on the 12.5 kV operation which is used for the D− injection into a 15 MeV D− cyclotron. At present, we are making an effort to test the effect of injecting Cs in the vicinity of the plasma aperture. On the other hand, a hybrid of filament plus LaB6 cathode mechanism has been tested for filament lifetime issue. The results from these tests are reported. In particular, the experience in operating this new source for the Triumf/Nordion TR30 cyclotron is summarized. © 1998 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: A prototype surface ionization source coupled with a fixed-geometry extraction electrode system was commissioned on the Isotope Separator Accelerator (ISAC) ion source test stand at TRIUMF. The suitability of the ion source and extraction system for use in the ISAC facility was determined by a series of emittance measurements of the extracted beams. The test stand optics were successfully commissioned using the prototype ion source; emittance measurements of the mass-separated beams demonstrated that second- and third-order beam aberrations (introduced by the magnetic dipole mass separation) could be corrected by the use of multipole electrostatic optics elements. An upper limit of the root-mean-square-energy spread (2 eV) was deduced from the emittance measurements. Emittance measurements were performed at beam energies of 10–50 keV, as well as for ion masses ranging from Li+ to Rb+, to demonstrate the feasibility of the prototype for a variety of beam energies and masses. © 1998 American Institute of Physics.
