General assembling and vacuum
Ionisation gauge (10E-3 to 10E-11 mbar) Pirani gauge (10E+3 to 10E-3 mbar)
General assembling and vacuum
Computer simulations SIMION version 7 (SPECTRAP beamline)
Computer simulations (Ar + sputter gun)
Computer simulations Initial Energy (keV) Einzel Lens Potential (kV) Upper Bender Electrode (kV) Lower Bender Electrode (kV)
Ion generation and measurements
Results
The plans for the nexts few months: - power transformers (2x 5 kW) - improve beamline vacuum (cryo pumps) - do more tests with sputter gun and beamline - tests with the MEVVA ion source - platform safety issues (cage) - stairs from re-injection channel to platform - solve problems with superconducting magnet - next SPECTRAP meeting (with David Church Texas A&M University)
