On-line tests RFQ coolerISCOOLA quick summary P. Delahaye, H. Frånberg, I. Podadera ISCOOL, COLLAPS, ISOLDE collaboration
Principle • Three elements: • RF quadrupolar field • Radial confinement • DC potentials • Extracting ion in bunches or in continuos mode • Buffer gas • Ion motion cooling
Emittance measurements ~35p·mm·mrad 95% emittance ~2.2p·mm·mrad 95% emittance
Transmissions • Potentials along the axis • Transmissions in DC • 23Na: 50% • 39K: >75% • 85Rb: >75% 50V (30V enough) 5-2V/cm 80eV TRAPPING ~1E-2 mbar 4He 10-2mbar l/s INJECTION EXTRACTION Better than the off-line tests! Smaller emittances from ISOLDE surface ion sources than from the ion source used during off-line tests.
Cooling time • TOF < 1ms from the entrance to the exit of the RFQ • 1 passage is enough to get a cold beam • as measured off-line, and other labs as predicted by simulations for other systems
50V (30V enough) 5-2V/cm 80eV TRAPPING ~1E-2 mbar 4He 10-2mbar l/s INJECTION EXTRACTION Bunching mode 30keV
Space charge limits • Up to 108/s!! As measured with FC (data under analysis with MCP) 39K 85Rb
Bunch width • Depends on the space charge and cooling time Collection / cooling time
Preliminary results • Data from 26Na needs to be analyzed • Losses due to trapping time (analysis in progress) • Chemistry, noble gases, reactive elements • More data needed for more masses (light ions) • CaO target + plasma ion source should provide some answers
ISCOOL TEST 46K Beam 1E5 ions/s after the cooler. Collection time 20 minutes, with 300ms bunching and a 12us gate and 2mW of laser power. Singles (continuous counting) Bunched:12us gated spectra Background suppression factor~1E4
