Notes:
A low-duty pulsed PIG source has been developed for the injector (e/m= (1)/(7) – 1/4 ) of HIMAC. This source is of an indirectly heated PIG type. The requirement for this source is a high current with a low repetition rate and a low-duty factor. To obtain good stability during pulsed operation, the source is operated in a positive arc impedance range. Pulsed operation also allows the arc voltage to be high (1.4 kV), resulting in a high yield of multiply charged ions. With an arc pulse width of 500 μs (1 Hz and a duty of 0.05%), a useful beam pulse width of 200 μs with a peak intensity of 120 μA for Ar6+ has been obtained at an optimum gas pressure of 10−3 Torr. This intensity is higher than for cw mode by a factor of 5. A 90% emittance has also been measured to be 250π mm mrad in both the X and Y directions.
