| MOWZO03 | Status of the AISHa Ion Source at INFN-LNS | 10 |
|
||
| The AISHa ion source is an Electron Cyclotron Resonance Ion Source designed to generate high brightness multiply charged ion beams with high reliability, easy operations and maintenance for hadrontheraphy applications. The R&D performed by the INFN-LNS team during the 2019/2020 has allowed the improvement of the AISHa performances up to 20% for some of the extracted beams: both injection and extraction flanges has been improved and a movable electrode has been installed. The low energy beam transport has been equipped of an Emittance Measurement Unit (EMU), working through the beam wire scanners principle, for the measurement of the vertical and horizontal emittance of the beams of interest for hadrontherapy applications. Beam emittance has been characterized as a function of q/m and of the beam intensity to highlight space charge effects. If necessary, the beam wire scanners can be used for the characterization of the beam shape. The perspectives for further developments and plasma diagnostics will be also highlighted. | ||

| TUYZO03 | Electromagnetic Simulation of "plasma-shaped" Plasma Chamber for Innovative ECRIS | 90 |
|

The plasma chamber and injection system design play a fundamental role in ECRISs with the aim to obtain an optimized electromagnetic field configuration able to generate and sustain a plasma with a high energy content. In this work we present the numerical study and the design of an unconventionally-shaped cavity resonator* that possesses some key advantages with respect to the standard cylindrical cavities, usually adopted in ion sources setups. The cavity geometry, whose design has been completed on January 2020, has been inspired by the typical star-shaped ECR plasma, determined by the magnetic field structure. The chamber has been designed by using the commercial softwares CST and COMSOL, with the aim to maximize the on-axis electric field. Moreover, a radically innovative microwaves injection system, consisting in side-coupled slotted waveguides, has been implemented, allowing a better power coupling and a more symmetric power distribution inside the cavity with respect to the standard rectangular waveguides. This new ’plasma-shaped oriented’ design could relevantly improve the performances of the ECRISs while making more compact the overall setup.
