Outline Introduction: Off-line experimental set-up Investigation of the gas cell: Summary SHIPTRAP set-up SHIPTRAP gas stopping cell Extraction times Extraction efficiencies Total efficiency Impurities On-line beam
Set-up layout Nin 100% 30% Nout Nout/Nin= ? 50% 100%
Experimental set-up Features of 223Ra source: • T1/2(223Ra)=11.4 d • max. activity ~10,000 decays/s • available recoil ions 219Rn+, (215Po+), 211Pb+, 207Tl+ • characteristic a-decay for identification • point-like • determine (absolute) extraction efficiency
Extraction time linear trend described by mobility formalism PHe = 40 mbar Axial E-field = 5 V/cm PHe : (40-100) mbar Axial E-field 10 V/cm Nuclides with T1/2>10 ms accessible at SHIPTRAP
Extraction efficiency Main losses are due to diffusion RF-funnel is less efficient Neutralisation < extraction time
Total efficiency measurement
Total efficiency (measured on-line) Measured total efficiencies 4-8%
Influence of contaminants Before bake-out Xe+ After bake-out (24 hours, 1500) 219Rn+ 219Rn+ 211Pb+ + 211Bi+ 207Tl+ + 207Pb+ Xe+ 2112+ 215Po+ Er+
On-line regime TOF, 2m 58Ni + 92Mo -> 150Yb* 50Cr + 58Ni -> 108Te*
Gas cell is fast: nuclides with T1/2>10 ms are accessible Extraction efficiency ~ 20 % at 40 mbar Total efficiency ~ 13 % in the range of 70-80 mbar Diffusion is crucial: higher pressure, stronger axial field needed Neutralisation is slower than extraction Scattered primary beam is not allowed to enter the gas cell Conclusions
