    Design of a compact ECR ion source for medium charge state light ions
    (American Institute of Physics, 2012-02-01) Button, D; Hotchkis, MAC; Milford, GN
    At the Australian Nuclear Science and Technology Organization we are developing a new isotope ratio mass spectrometer based on the measurement of multiple charge state ions. We have carried out a review of our existing ECR ion source and identified a number of design flaws. For the new instrument, we are producing a new ECR source and have refined the design, in particular by using 3D simulations to improve the magnetic confinement field and by a combination of simulations and experiments to improve the design of the microwave coupling. © 2012, American Institute of Physics.
