Studies of electron cyclotron resonance ion source beam formation, transport and quality
Authors
Date
2013This thesis presents the results of a broad study investigating different possibilities
to improve the performance of the JYFL 14 GHz Electron Cyclotron Resonance Ion
Source (ECRIS). The experimental work includes studies of ECRIS plasma, ion beam
formation and beam transport, all of which contribute to the properties of ion beams
produced with ECR ion sources. In particular, it is shown that the degradation of beam
quality due to the formation of hollow beam structure is influenced by phenomena
originating from all of these categories.
The effects of fine tuning the frequency of the plasma heating microwaves of the JYFL
14 GHz ECRIS are presented, showing that the frequency tuning can influence the ion
beam properties. It is demonstrated that the ion beams produced with the ion source
are not completely space charge compensated during the first section of the beam
transport, and the space charge effects in this region have significant impact on the
beam properties. Also, it is shown that mitigating these effects can lead to substantial
improvement in beam quality. The temporal stability of ion beams produced with
ECR ion sources is discussed and it is shown that the beams exhibit fast beam current
oscillations in the 102 − 103 Hz region, characteristics of which depend on the ion
source tuning. Experiments with the so-called collar structure are presented, providing
new insight into the plasma conditions near the ion extraction. As a culmination of
the thesis work, a new extraction system has been designed and constructed for the
JYFL 14 GHz ECRIS. It is shown that the new system provides improved performance
compared to the old one in terms of extracted beam currents, beam quality and
transmission efficiency.
