FAR-TECH, Inc is developing a hybrid, quasi-3D model to model charge breeding of an ion beam in an electron cyclotron resonance ion source. The model is a combination of 3D mapping of the plasma background calculated by GEM1D* and 3D tracking of the ion trajectories with MCBC**. The 3D electron distribution function and electric field of the background plasma are calculated self-consistently. The test beam ions are then tracked in it using MCBC which includes Coulomb, ionization and charge exchange collisions. The exact ion trajectories in the plasma and steady state 3D ion distribution at the extraction aperture are predicted and compared with previous simulations and experiments.

Electropolishing (EP) is reliably delivering improved performance of multi-celled niobium SRF accelerator cavities, attributed to the smoother surface obtained. This superior leveling is a consequence of an etchant concentration gradient layer that arises in the HF-H2SO4 electrolyte adjacent to the niobium surface during polishing. Electrolyte circulation raises the prospect that fluid flow adjacent to the surface might affect the diffusion layer and impair EP performance. In this study, preliminary bench-top experiments with a moving electrode apparatus were conducted. We find that flow conditions approximating cavity EP show no effects attributable to depletion layer disruption.
