Description
The CANadian Rare isotope facility with Electron Beam ion source (CANREB) is an important component of the Advanced Rare IsotopE Laboratory (ARIEL) at TRIUMF. CANREB will deliver highly charged radioactive ion beams for post-acceleration to nuclear physics experiments. Ion beams injected into CANREB are bunched using a radiofrequency quadrupole cooler buncher and energy adjusted using a pulsed drift tube for injection into an electron beam ion source (EBIS) charge state breeder. The charge bred ions are then mass-separated using a Nier-type spectrometer and transported to the linac. The complexity of CANREB requires rigorous simulation efforts to ensure optimal performance and beam quality. For this reason, combined beam optics and finite element analysis methods are used to characterize the elements in the CANREB beam transport system. Particular emphasis is placed on the 45° spherical benders that focus the beam in the direction perpendicular to the bending plane and on the EBIS Sikler lens which provides both small-angle steering as well as focusing of the ion beam.
