The Frankfurt ECRIS-RFQ facility for materials research with highly charged ions
Abstract
The new accelerator for the production of highly charged heavy ions, presently installed at the Institut für Kernphysik consists of a 14 GHz ECR source in combination with an variable-energy RFQ post-accelerator. It is designed to deliver highly charged ions in the energy range between 1 keV/u (the ECRIS beam) and 100-200 keV/u with the (Variable-Energy Radio Frequency Quadrupole) VE-RFQ. Investigations of transient processes with ns time constants will be possible by a single bunch system. Another attractive feature for materials research is the combination with ion beams from the 7 MV Van de Graaff. The status of the project and first results of beam measurements will be presented.
