Role of the 1+ beam optics upstream the SPIRAL1 charge breeder
Résumé
The SPIRAL1 charge breeder (SP1CB) is under opera-tion. Radioactive ion beam (RIB) has already been deliv-ered [1] to Physicist for experiments. Charge breeding efficiencies demonstrated high performances for stable ion beams than RIB’s. The beam optics, prior to the injection of the 1+ ions into the SP1CB, is of prime im-portance [2] for obtaining such high efficiencies. Moreo-ver, the intensities of the RIB’s are so low, and indeed difficult to tune the SP1CB. A stable beam having a close B’ is required to find out the set of optic parameters preceding the tuning of the RIB. Hence, it has been de-cided to focus our effort on the control of 1+ beam optics leading to high charge breeding efficiencies whatever the 1+ mass, energy and Target Ion Source System (TISS) used. This contribution will show the strategy undertaken to overcome that problem and the results obtained.
