Description
The IIF-L is an ion irradiation facility for experiments with various ion types from low-charged ions or molecule fragments up to highly charged ions. It can be equipped with different DREEBIT ion sources such as a Dresden EBIS/T or Dresden ECRIS. Depending on the ion source operation mode, continuous ion beams or ion pulses are transported through the beamline using ion optical elements (Einzel lenses, deflector elements) and ion beam diagnostics (Faraday cups). Ion species separation is realized by a double focusing dipole magnet.
The ion source and the complete beamline are mounted on a high voltage terminal to enable ion deceleration or acceleration towards a grounded target chamber. To focus the ions and transport them into the target chamber without substantial losses a deceleration lens system is mounted at the end of the high voltage tract. In this way, targets can be irradiated with ion energies from ~100 V·q up to 40 kV·q, q being the ion charge state. The complete ion beamline, the ion source, as well as the target chamber are all designed for ultra high vacuum operation. A LabView based command and control system is delivered to operate the IIF-L via computer and automatically analyze the produced spectrum of ions.
The following table gives an overview of typical ion output values of the facility equipped with a Dresden EBIS-A. The values depend on the chosen source parameters which were optimized for each individual charge state in the given table. Higher and lower ion outputs are possible if another ion source is chosen. The values were recorded before deceleration into the target chamber.
