The relationship between visible light emission and species fraction of the hydrogen ion beams extracted from 2.45 GHz microwave discharge.
2015
The relationship between Balmer-α and Fulcher-band emissions with extracted H + , H + 2 , and H + 3 ions is demonstrated for a 2.45 GHz microwave discharge. Ion mass spectra and optical measurements of Balmer-α and Fulcher-band emissions have been obtained with a Wien Filter having an optical viewport on the plasma chamber axis. The beam of approximately 1 mA is analyzed for different plasma conditions simultaneously with the measurement of light emissions both with temporal resolution. The use of visible light emissions as a valuable diagnostic tool for monitoring the species fraction of the extracted beams is proposed. peerReviewed
Operation of the MAMI accelerator with a Wien filter based spin rotation system
2006
A compact spin rotation system based on a Wien filter has been installed at the Mainz microtron accelerator (MAMI). Under operation with varying spin rotation angles a significant change of focal length together with a shift of the central beam trajectory is expected. We demonstrate that these effects can be kept under control. As a consequence operation with spin rotation angles between 0° and ±90° has been achieved without compromising the beam quality and operational stability of MAMI.
Ion beam intensity and phase space measurement techniques for ion sources.
2022
Ion sources produce beams used in accelerators and other applications. Both development and use of ion sources need beam diagnostics to probe the plasma processes and beam formation for optimization purposes and to produce beam parameters needed for transport tuning. These diagnostics include beam intensity measurements usually carried out with Faraday cups or inductive pickups, magnetic separation, profile measurements with scintillation screens and wires, and phase space measurements with different types of emittance scanners. peerReviewed
Correlations between density distributions, optical spectra, and ion species in a hydrogen plasma (invited)
2016
An experimental study of plasma distributions in a 2.45 GHz hydrogen discharge operated at 100 Hz repetition rate is presented. Ultrafast photography, time integrated visible light emission spectra, time resolved Balmer-alpha emission, time resolved Fulcher Band emission, ion species mass spectra, and time resolved ion species fraction measurements have been implemented as diagnostic tools in a broad range of plasma conditions. Results of plasma distributions and optical emissions correlated with H + , H + 2 , and H + 3 ion currents by using a Wien filter system with optical observation capability are reported. The magnetic field distribution and strength is found as the most critical facto…
Vertical Beam Polarization at MAMI
2017
For the first time a vertically polarized electron beam has been used for physics experiments at MAMI in the energy range between 180 and 855 MeV. The beam-normal single-spin asymmetry $A_{\mathrm{n}}$, which is a direct probe of higher-order photon exchange beyond the first Born approximation, has been measured in the reaction $^{12}\mathrm C(\vec e,e')^{12}\mathrm C$. Vertical polarization orientation was necessary to measure this asymmetry with the existing experimental setup. In this paper we describe the procedure to orient the electron polarization vector vertically, and the concept of determining both its magnitude and orientation with the available setup. A sophisticated method has …
Wien filter for cooled low-energy radioactive ion beams
2002
A Wien filter for cooled radioactive ion beams has been designed at Ion Guide Isotope Separator On Line technique (IGISOL). The purpose of such device is to eliminate doubly charged ions from the mass separated singly charged ions, based on q=+2→q=+1 charge exchange process in an ion cooler. The performance of the Wien filter has been tested off-line with a discharge ion source as well as on-line with a radioactive beam. The electron capture process of cooled q=+2 ions has been investigated in a radiofrequency quadrupole ion cooler with varying partial pressures of nitrogen. Also, the superasymmetric fission production yields of 68<A<78 nuclei have been deduced.
Multipole WIEN-filter for a high-resolution X-PEEM
1997
Abstract The development and construction of an X-PEEM with integral multipole WIEN-filter for spectromicroscopy with high lateral resolution is presented. All relevant electron-optical properties of the filter have been examined by field and trajectory calculations. Electric and magnetic multipole components (dipole, quadrupole and hexapole) can be chosen independently from each other, thus allowing electron-optical corrections. Theoretical values for the lateral resolution are in the range of 10 nm, experimental values of ≤25 nm have been achieved using the column without filter. The instrument is designed in particular for the use of Sychrotron radiation as well as new, high-brilliance l…
