First performance tests of the new advanced radiofrequency quadrupole for ALIS at the test bench setup at VERA
A new advanced radiofrequency quadrupole (RFQ) ion cooler for accelerator mass spectrometry has been developed for the Anion Laser Isobar Separator (ALIS) at CologneAMS. Based on the Ion-Laser Interaction Mass Spectrometry (ILIAMS) setup at the Vienna Environmental Research Accelerator (VERA), it features new guiding electrodes and ion optics trying to solve challenges in decelerating and trapping intense heavy molecular ion beams, such as SrF3−. Initial tests with 27AlO− and 63Cu− show ∼ 30% transmission and millisecond ion residence times, demonstrating that the cooler is functioning properly. While promising, further optimizations are needed to fully achieve the desired efficiency and stability.
期刊介绍:
Section B of Nuclear Instruments and Methods in Physics Research covers all aspects of the interaction of energetic beams with atoms, molecules and aggregate forms of matter. This includes ion beam analysis and ion beam modification of materials as well as basic data of importance for these studies. Topics of general interest include: atomic collisions in solids, particle channelling, all aspects of collision cascades, the modification of materials by energetic beams, ion implantation, irradiation - induced changes in materials, the physics and chemistry of beam interactions and the analysis of materials by all forms of energetic radiation. Modification by ion, laser and electron beams for the study of electronic materials, metals, ceramics, insulators, polymers and other important and new materials systems are included. Related studies, such as the application of ion beam analysis to biological, archaeological and geological samples as well as applications to solve problems in planetary science are also welcome. Energetic beams of interest include atomic and molecular ions, neutrons, positrons and muons, plasmas directed at surfaces, electron and photon beams, including laser treated surfaces and studies of solids by photon radiation from rotating anodes, synchrotrons, etc. In addition, the interaction between various forms of radiation and radiation-induced deposition processes are relevant.
