Experimental activities with the LPSC charge breeder in the European context

subject

description

WEOBMH01; International audience; One of the Work Packages of the "Enhanced Multi-Ionization of short-Lived Isotopes at EURISOL"NuPNET project focuses on the ECR charge breeding.The LPSC charge breeder is used for experimental studiesin order to better understand the fundamental processesinvolved in the 1+ beam capture by a 14 GHz ECRplasma. Some improvements, like symmetrisation of themagnetic field at the injection side and higher pumpingspeed, have been carried out on the PHOENIX chargebreeder. The impact of these modifications on theefficiencies and charge breeding times are presented. Inthe same time, the new LPSC 1+ source developmentsperformed in order to ease the efficiency measurementswith various elements are presented.
