Fundamental aspects of electron cyclotron resonance ion sources: from classical to large superconducting devices.

Author(s) : HITZ D., MELIN G., GIRARD A.

Type of article: Article

Summary

Electron cyclotron resonance ion sources (ECRIS) of highly charged ions are widely used for many application. Depending on the application, ECRIS now have to cope with new beam requirements: intense flux of medium charge states and/or very high charge states are demanded by users. In addition, these sources have to be stable and reliable. These requirements lead to large volume/high magnetic field devices. Through a discussion of the main parameters of an ECRIS, the authors deal with the present state of the art of ECRIS in this article. The evolution from "classical" sources to superconducting devices is presented.
