Funding: NSF Cooperative Agreement, Award No. PHY-1102511 Modern ion accelerators, particularly heavy ion accelerators, almost universally make use of charge stripping. A challenge facing facilities, as the demand for higher intensity beams rises, is a stripping media that's highly resistant to degradation, such as a recirculating He gas stripper. A method of keeping the He gas localized in a segment along the beamline by means of a Plasma Window (PW) positioned on both sides of the gas stripper has been proposed and the initial design set forth by Ady Hershcovitch. With a cascaded plasma arc being the interface between high pressure stripper and low pressure beamline, the goal is to minimize gas flowrate from the stripper to the beamline in order to maintain sufficient isolation of the He gas. We present the initial results from the test stand developed at Michigan State University and the planned experimental program that will follow. |
