MOYZO01 | Imaging in X-ray Ranges to Locally Investigate the Effect of the Two-Close-Frequency Heating in ECRIS Plasmas | 27 |
|
||
Plasma instabilities limit the ECR Ion Sources performances in terms of flux of the extracted highly charged ions by causing beam ripple and unstable operation conditions. In a 14 GHz ECRIS (Atomki, Debrecen), the effect on the plasma instabilities in an Argon plasma at Two Close Frequencies heating scheme (the frequency gap is smaller than 1 GHz) has been explored. A special multi-diagnostic setup [1, 2] has been designed and implemented consisting of detectors for the simultaneous collection of plasma radio-self-emission and of high spatial resolution X-ray images in the 500 eV - 20 keV energy domain (using an X-ray pin-hole camera setup). We present the comparison of plasma structural changes as observed from X-ray images in single and double-frequency operations. The latter has been particularly correlated to the confinement and velocity anisotropy, also by considering results coming from numerical simulations.

MOYZO02 | High Resolution X-ray Imaging as a Powerful Diagnostics Tool to Investigate ECRIS Plasma Structure and Confinement Dynamics | 32 |
|
||
High resolution spatially-resolved X-ray spectroscopy, by means of a X-ray pin-hole camera setup* ** operating in the 0.5-20 keV energy domain, is a very powerful method for ECRIS plasma structure evaluation. We present the setup installed at a 14 GHz ECRIS (ATOMKI, Debrecen), including a multi-layered collimator enabling measurements up to several hundreds of watts of RF pumping power and the achieved spatial and energy resolution (0.5 mm and 300 eV). Results coming by a new algorithm for analyzing Integrated (multi-events detection) and Photon-Counted images (single-event detection) to perform energy-resolved investigation will be described. The analysis permits to investigate High-Dynamic-Range (HDR) and spectrally resolved images, to study the effect of the axial and radial confinement (even separately), the plasma radius, the fluxes of deconfined electrons distinguishing fluorescence lines of the materials of the plasma chamber (Ti, Ta) from plasma (Ar) fluorescence lines. This method allows a detailed characterization of warm electrons, important for ionization, and to quantitatively estimate local plasma density and spectral temperature pixel-by-pixel.

TUYZO01 | Advancements in Self-Consistent Modeling of Time- and Space-Dependent Phenomena in ECRIS Plasma | 78 |
|

Resonant interaction with microwave radiation in ECRIS plasma leads to a strongly anisotropic electron energy distribution function (EEDF), given as a combination of two to three electron populations, with anisotropy that might trigger kinetic instabilities. At the INFN, further efforts have been paid to improve and update self-consistent 3D numerical codes for plasma electrons kinetics. Progresses have opened several perspectives. It is now possible to derive a space-resolved EEDF, providing local information on electron properties. Also, the code has been updated to provide reaction rates of electromagnetic emissions, including X-ray fluorescence. Estimates of the local ion charge state distribution is potentially possible, and first evaluations are ongoing. Dealing with fast-transient mechanisms, such as electromagnetic emission via the electron-cyclotron MASER instability, the code is now updated for locally evaluating the EEDF anisotropy. We will present the collected results, which we believe to have a relevant impact both on the ECRIS plasma physics and on the INFN’s PANDORA project that plans to use ECR plasmas for fundamental studies in Nuclear and AstroNuclear Physics. | ||
