Effect of a pulsed biased disk on the xenon afterglow beam currents of a superconducting electron cyclotron resonance ion source
Abstract
Abstract Heavy ion synchrotron accelerators rely on intense pulsed beams of highly charged ions. The production of these pulsed beams from an electron cyclotron resonance (ECR) ion source is primarily achieved using the afterglow mode. To further enhance the ion source performance in afterglow mode, a novel technique known as the pulsed biased disk has been developed at the Institute of Modern Physics (IMP). The effect of this pulsed biased disk on the xenon afterglow beam currents has been experimentally investigated using a superconducting ECR ion source. The experimental results and conclusions derived from the data are presented in this article.
