The first 18 GHz ECR plasma in an ion source prototype with a magnetic structure using high field magnets techniques was performed in 2012. The particularity of such a prototype is the establishing of a topologically closed ECR zone in a cusp configuration. During the current increase to get a closed 60 GHz zone, a failure appeared at 21000 A in one helix among the four. After the modification of the cooling circuit, the prototype was able to accept up to 26000 A allowing high frequency experiments. In the same time, a 60 GHz - 300 kW pulsed gyrotron has been successfully built and installed in Grenoble by IAP-RAS and Gycom company. The first 60 GHz ECR plasma has been produced in April 2014, the first pulsed beams have been extracted and analyzed. The experimental results obtained will be presented along with the perspectives of such developments.

GANIL has been producing many stable beams for nearly 30 years. Constant progress have been obtained in terms of intensity, stability and reliability. The presentation highlights recent results obtained for 50Ti beam production from an organo-metallic compound using the MIVOC (Metallic Ions from Volatile Compounds) method with the ECR4 ion source. The synthesis of this compound has been studied and realized by the IPHC-Strasbourg team from isotopically enriched titanium metal. Preliminary tests using natural titanocene were performed to validate the production method in terms of beam intensity, stability and reliability. Results obtained allowed us to program a physics experiment in September 2013. A 50Ti¹⁰⁺ beam was maintained stable for 300 h with a mean intensity of 20 μA. Q/A=1/3 ion source of SPIRAL 2 facility, whom commissioning will be led by end of 2014, is Phoenix V2 ion source which has been developed by LPSC-Grenoble. Results obtained for nickel (58Ni¹⁹⁺) and calcium (40Ca¹⁶⁺) in collaboration with LPSC Grenoble will be presented in this report.

At the end of 2013 the Academy of Finland granted an infrastructure funding for the JYFL Accelerator Laboratory in order to increase beam intensities for the international user community. The primary objective is to construct a new high performance ECR ion source, HIISI (Heavy Ion Ion Source Injector), for the K130 cyclotron. Using room temperature magnets the HIISI has been designed to produce about the same magnetic field configuration as the superconducting ECRIS SUSI at NSCL/MSU for 18 GHz operation. An innovative structure will be used to maximize the radial confinement and safety of the permanent magnets. The sextupole magnets are separated and insulated from the plasma chamber providing two advantages: 1) the permanent magnets can be cooled down to -20˚C, which increases especially their coercivity and 2) makes it possible to reach higher radial field at the inner surface of plasma chamber. Comprehensive simulations were performed with microwave power up to 6 kW to analyse and address all the heat loads and temperature distribution on the permanent magnet. In this article the magnetic field design and detailed innovative scheme for sextupole magnet will be presented.

Funding: NuPNET project (Enhanced Multi-Ionization of short-Lived Isotopes at EURISOL)
One of the Work Packages of the "Enhanced Multi-Ionization of short-Lived Isotopes at EURISOL" NuPNET project focuses on the ECR charge breeding. The LPSC charge breeder is used for experimental studies in order to better understand the fundamental processes involved in the 1+ beam capture by a 14 GHz ECR plasma. Some improvements, like symmetrisation of the magnetic field at the injection side and higher pumping speed, have been carried out on the PHOENIX charge breeder. The impact of these modifications on the efficiencies and charge breeding times are presented. In the same time, the new LPSC 1+ source developments performed in order to ease the efficiency measurements with various elements are presented.

Investigation on the Origin of High Energy X-Rays Observed in 3rd Generation ECRIS

127

T. Thuillier
LPSC, Grenoble Cedex, France

The operation of third generation ECR ion source heated with 24 or 28 GHz microwave frequency shows a high energy x-ray spectrum with a characteristic temperature much higher than the one observed at the usual heating frequencies (14-18 GHz). The behaviour of the x-ray spectrum is studied based on the review of a set of data previously done at LBNL [1]. The data reviewed shows that the hot x-ray temperature scales with the ECR frequency. The experimental data is compared with the prediction of a simple model of ECR heating developed for this purpose. A formula to estimate the ECR resonance thickness is calculated. The model explains nicely the experimental x-ray temperature variation when the central magnetic field of the ECRIS is changed. It demonstrates that such a magnetic field variation does not change the electron confinement time and that the change of the x-ray spectrum temperature is due to the change of the ECR zone thickness. The only way for the model to reproduce the fact that the x-ray temperature scales with the ECR frequency is to assume that the electron confinement time scales (at least) with the ECR frequency. This result brings new credit to the theoretical prediction that the hot electron RF scattering is decreasing when the ECR frequency increases.[2,3] The spatial gyrac effect, which can be considered as another possible origin of the very hot x-ray produced in ECRIS is recalled for convenience in this paper.

A scientific overview of the ECRIS14 workshop is proposed in this paper. The workshop content demonstrated that the ECR community is still very active and that research is of high interest for future accelerator projects. A selection of new results and development presented during the workshop is proposed.
