A. Girard et al., THE QUADRUMAFIOS ELECTRON-CYCLOTRON-RESONANCE ION-SOURCE - PRESENTATION AND ANALYSIS OF THE RESULTS, Review of scientific instruments, 65(5), 1994, pp. 1714-1717
The Quadrumafios electron cyclotron resonance ion source (ECRIS) has b
een especially designed to permit physical studies of the plasma; this
paper describes the source itself (which has been operated at 10 GHz
in a first step), its preliminary performances, and the different diag
nostics involved, which mainly concern the electron population (ECE, x
rays, diamagnetism, microwave interferometer, and electron analyzer).
The results are presented and discussed: There is of course a close r
elationship between the parameters of the plasma and the performances
of the source; this point will be discussed in the article.
