Description
The Dresden EBIS-A is an electron beam ion source able to produce ions of high charge states of
practically all elements of the periodic table. It delivers beams of protons, alpha-particles,
various highly charged ion species, as well as molecular fragments.
The functional principle of the ion source is based on a cathode of high electron emissivity
generating a strong electron beam which is magnetically compressed to achieve high electron beam densities.
The operation principle of the ion source allows for generation of pulsed ion beams
as well as DC beams (leaky mode).
Particle injection into the Dresden EBIS-A can be realized by different injection methods
such as direct gas inlet, metal ion introduction via the gas inlet using volatile compounds (MIVoC),
or by injection of low charged ions produced by Liquid Metal Ion Sources (LMIS) or
other primary ion sources (charge breeding).
The length of the extracted ion pulses has a range from 20 ns up to 100 µs.
The pulse shape can be varied from Gaussian up to flat-top shapes by an additional electronic system
controlling the ramping of the trap voltages during ion extraction.
Next to its use as a source for ion extraction, the trapped ions interacting with the electron beam inside
the machine are a useful source of x-rays observable through optional spectroscopic ports.
Figure 1 and Figure 2 represent two examples of extracted ion spectra from
the Dresden EBIS-A. Figure 1 is an ion spectrum of the intermediate-weight element argon
showing that up to fully ionized Ar18+ can be produced. The other spectrum,
Figure 2, presents extracted gold charge states of up to Au60+. Furthermore, the following
table gives an overview of ion currents which can be extracted from the source.

Please note: The ion output depends strongly on the ion source parameters.
To achieve the highest possible ion output the source parameters need
to be optimized for each ion species individually.
