Vladimir ZORINInstitute of Applied PhysicsNizhny Novgorod, Russia Additional PartnerinEUROnuproject ECR task: continuation of work with a 60 GHz ECR ion source for bunching studies of 6He and 18Ne started within EURISOL DS with the objective of reaching the high efficiencies needed for the beta-beam.
high efficiencies – how to reach? high gas efficiencies Proper pulse duration Proper ion extraction
Today’s my report about Proper pulse duration
Requirement for ion beam pulses Duration ~ 100 µs 100 µs 28 GHz Grenoble T. Lamy at al
Two approaches for creation of short pulse multicharged ion beams Short pulse ECR ion source Steady state generation Non-steady state (preglow & afterglow effects)
Steady state approach on generation of short pulses Plasma confinement time << pulse duration ~ 100µs Plasma confinement time ~ 10 – 20µs Quasi-gasdynamic plasma confinement
Steady state approach on generation of short pulses, 37 GHz December 2005 Gyrotron 37.5 GHz, 100 kW Gasdynamic plasma confinement Cusp trap with 25 cm effective length Working gas is He End of MW pulse Total extracted ion current 25 s Rising time of total extracted ion current is ~15 s !!!
Ion spectrum during the steady-state Low plasma confinement time Air contamination is from input gas (we used a pillow for He)

Modeling of short pulses Modeling Experiment Simple mirror trap, L=37 cm Mirror Ratio = 4 MW=10 kW/cm2 Extraction voltage = 25 kV MW duration ~ 70 µs
Further but nearest experiments: • He, Ne charge distribution, optimization • control of pulse duration in experiments • ion extraction • emittance measurements • MHD influence, when is it negligible?
