Ion Source Group

Ion Source Group

The Ion Source Group (ISG) plays a crucial role in the realm of particle acceleration, providing essential support for the operation and maintenance of Electron Cyclotron Resonance (ECR) Ion sources. These sources are pivotal in generating charged particles, which are then accelerated to high speeds for various research and application purposes.

The ISG's managing the sophisticated electronics that control the high voltage platforms, ensuring the stability and efficiency of the High Voltage DC Power Supplies (HVPS), and overseeing the Light Link Interfaces, oven power supply, sputtering motor controller and High-Temperature Superconducting (HTS) Coils etc. The work is not limited to maintenance; and also contributes significantly to the development and enhancement of these complex systems. The group also undertakes maintenance and test of the ECR ion source and GP (acceleration) tubes. These instruments are typically used to generate and manage the various types of ion beams produced by the ECR ion sources, which are then used in a wide range of experiments, such as material analysis, accelerator physics, and ion implantation.
