Notes:
This article presents a 2.45 GHz electron cyclotron resonance ion source which is under construction at the Institute of Atomic Physics Bucharest, Romania. It will be used as an injector into an existing linac for light ions and is a compact version of a similar source, for which we have obtained the magnetic system by superimposing an axial magnetic field generated by two solenoids and a radial magnetic field generated by a permanent magnet hexapole. For the compact version we have employed two rings made of permanent magnets for the axial magnetic field and the same type of hexapole for the radial field. This second version will work on a high voltage platform. The calculation, design, and construction of the two minimum magnetic field structures (B minimum) are presented. These sources have a special microwave antenna, of a helix type, allowing a much smaller diameter plasma chamber than is usually used for the employed microwaves. The microwave system is also presented. The first experiments were made with an Ar plasma. © 1996 American Institute of Physics.
