    ANSTO ECR ion source and its application to mass spectrometry
    (Australian Institute of Nuclear Science and Engineering (AINSE), 2007-11) Button, D; Buckley, D; Esat, TM; Hotchkis, MAC
    At ANSTO we have built an Electron Cyclotron Resonance (ECR) ion source to investigate new concepts for mass spectrometers [1,2] designed to measure isotopic ratios in small samples. ECR ion sources are capable of producing beams of multiply-charged atomic ions with high efficiency and are widely used as heavy ion injectors for accelerators. To meet the requirements of mass spectrometry, we have needed to adapt ECR ion source techniques to our purpose. In this presentation, these and other recent developments of our ECR ion source will be discussed.

    Performance of an electron cyclotron resonance ion source designed for isotope ratio mass spectrometry
    (American Institute of Physics, 2008-02) Hotchkis, MAC; Buckley, D; Button, D
    We have designed, built, and tested an electron cyclotron resonance ion source suited to the needs of an experimental program examining new methods of isotope ratio mass spectrometry using multiply charged ions. Contaminant levels have been reduced to low levels. Sample absorption and desorption effects are under investigation and preliminary results are presented. © 2008, American Institute of Physics
