Description
A new A/Q=7 injector is under development for the SPIRAL2 accelerator at Caen, France (NEWGAIN project). A new 28 GHz superconducting electron cyclotron resonance ion source (ECRIS) named ASTERICS*, located on a high voltage platform, is under design for this project. The source features a modern cryostat allowing for the saving of helium during a quench and a large plasma chamber (90 mm radius and 600 mm length). The physical and technical motivations for a larger plasma volume are detailed and estimates of expected beam intensities enhancement discussed. The source will mainly produce metallic ion beams: the concept of a temperature-controlled liner (up to ~1000°C) will be presented. The design of the ion source and the high voltage platform, with a focus on the ECRIS superconducting magnet [1] will be detailed.
- NEWGAIN is the acronym for NEW GAnil Injector. Project funded by Agence Nationale de la Recherche.
** ASTERICS is the acronym for Advanced Spiral Two Electron cyclotron Resonance Ion source at Caen with Superconducting magnets
