Notes:
The 13th International Electron Cyclotron Resonance Ion Source Workshop was hosted by the Cyclotron Institute of Texas A&M University in College Station, Texas from the 26th to the 28th of February 1997. The workshop was devoted to ECRIS design, construction, operation, and applications. Workshop topics covered the methods used in ECRIS technology, ECRIS behavior and physics, and atomic physics applications for ECR ion sources. Some high points were the report on the PIAFE Project where an ECRIS is used to decelerate, catch, and further ionize a low-charge-state radioactive ion beam, the report on the two-frequency ECRIS of Berkeley producing beams of ions such as 197Au60+, the report on ECRIS behavior incorporating realistic modeling of the absorption of the rf by the plasma, and the report on the recent completion of SERSE, a superconducting, high B mode, high-frequency ECRIS, which promises the next major advance in the field. The balance and scope of all the presentations and discussions gave an overview of a rapidly advancing field where major avenues for improvement and for new applications are available. © 1998 American Institute of Physics.
