1. Vladimir ZORIN Institute of Applied Physics Nizhny Novgorod, Russia Additional Partner in EUROnu project ECR task: continuation of work with a 60 GHz ECR ion source for bunching studies of 6 He and 18 Ne started within EURISOL DS with the objective of reaching the high efficiencies needed for the beta-beam.

2. high efficiencies – how to reach? high gas efficiencies Proper pulse duration Proper ion extraction

3. Today’s my report about Proper pulse duration

4. Requirement for ion beam pulses Duration ~ 100 µs 100 µs 28 GHz Grenoble T. Lamy at al

5. Two approaches for creation of short pulse multicharged ion beams Short pulse ECR ion source Steady state generation Non-steady state (preglow & afterglow effects)

6. Steady state approach on generation of short pulses Plasma confinement time << pulse duration ~ 100µs Plasma confinement time ~ 10 – 20µs Quasi-gasdynamic plasma confinement

16. Modeling of short pulses Simple mirror trap, L=37 cm Mirror Ratio = 4 MW=10 kW/cm 2 Extraction voltage = 25 kV MW duration ~ 70 µs Experiment Modeling

17. Further but nearest experiments: He, Ne charge distribution, optimization control of pulse duration in experiments ion extraction emittance measurements MHD influence, when is it negligible?
