Characterization of the Catania VIS for H2(+).

The Catania VIS 2.46 GHz source has been installed on a test stand at the Best Cyclotron Systems, in Vancouver, Canada, as part of the DAEδALUS and IsoDAR R&D program. Studies to date include optimization for H2 (+)/p ratio and emittance measurements.

An overview on TRIUMF's developments on ion source for radioactive beams.

The ISAC facility at TRIUMF utilizes up to 100 microA from the 500 MeV H(-) cyclotron to produce the radioactive ion beam (RIB) using the isotopic separation on line method. The ISAC-I facility comprised the RIB production target stations, the mass separator, and the beam delivery to low energy area and to a room temperature linear accelerator composed of a four-rod radio frequency quadrupole and an interdigital H-type structure drift tube LINAC. ISAC-I linear accelerator can provide beam from A=3 to 30 amu with an energy range from 0.
