First beam from the DECRIS 14-2m ion source for Slovak Republic

Abstract

The ECR laboratory of the Cyclotron Centrum of Slovak Republic (CC SR) in Bratislava, Slovakia, consists of the DECRIS 14-2m ion source and two low energy channels. It is a complete injector, consisting of an ECR ion source, focusing and steering elements, an analyzing magnet, a vacuum system, and an ion beam diagnostic system. The DECRIS 14-2m ion source is a multiply charged heavy ion source based on the electron cyclotron resonance principle. The ECR ion source DECRIS 14-2m and other system have been designed and manufactured at the FLNR JINR. The preliminary testing (magnetic field measurements, vacuum testing and testing of ECR ion source) has been performed at FLNR JINR. The final assembly of the DECRIS 14-2m will be done at the CC SR in Bratislava
