Notes:
The combination of cyclotron and electron cyclotron resonance (ECR) ion source provides the ability to accelerate "cocktails" of ions, mixtures of ions of near-identical charge-to-mass ratio. This concept was developed soon after the first ECR ion source became operational at the 88 Inch Cyclotron and has become a powerful tool in the field of heavy ion radiation effects testing. The standard 4.5 MeV/nuc cocktail at a charge-to-mass ratio of 0.2 contains ions from B2+ to Bi41+. Copper and cobalt are provided by the direct insertion method, B is produced utilizing the MIVOC technique and Bi is produced with the oven technique. Recently, following upgrades to the AECR and the cyclotron vacuum system, a new high-energy heavy cocktail beam has been developed. This cocktail at a charge-to-mass ration of 0.27 using 400 MeV Ar11+ as a "pilot" beam, contains ions from B3+ to Xe38+ and provides accelerated ions with a range of 100 μm in Si, of great advantage for some of the newer-generation microelectronics. It has joined the 4.5 MeV/u heavy ion cocktail and the 32.5 MeV/u light ion cocktail as standards in the cyclotron's cocktail repertoire. © 2002 American Institute of Physics.
