Journal ArticleDOI
A high-compression electron gun for C 6+ production: concept, simulations and mechanical design
Robert Mertzig,Robert Mertzig,M. Breitenfeldt,Serge Mathot,J. Pitters,J. Pitters,A. Shornikov,F. Wenander +7 more
TL;DR: In this article, simulations and the mechanical design of a high-compression electron gun for an Electron Beam Ion Source (EBIS) dedicated for production of high intensity and high repetition rate pulses of bare carbon ions for injection into linac-based hadron therapy facilities are reported.
Journal ArticleDOI
The TwinEBIS setup: Machine description
M. Breitenfeldt,Robert Mertzig,Robert Mertzig,J. Pitters,J. Pitters,Andrey Shornikov,F. Wenander +6 more
TL;DR: TwinEBIS as discussed by the authors is an Electron Beam Ion Source (EBIS) recently made operational at CERN and serves as a test bench dedicated to manipulation of low-energy highly charged ions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Developing Accelerator Mass Spectrometry Capabilities for Anthropogenic Radionuclide Analysis to Extend the Set of Oceanographic Tracers
Karin Hain,Martin Martschini,Fadime Gülce,Maki Honda,Johannes Lachner,Michael Kern,J. Pitters,Francesca Quinto,Aya Sakaguchi,Peter Steier,A. Wiederin,Alexander Wieser,Akihiko Yokoyama,Robin Golser +13 more
TL;DR: In this article , a simplified and very flexible chemical purification procedure based on extraction chromatography (a single UTEVA® column) was implemented which can be extended by a DGA® column for Am purification.
Journal ArticleDOI
Pepperpot emittance measurements of ion beams from an electron beam ion source
J. Pitters,M. Breitenfeldt,S. Duarte Pinto,Hannes Pahl,Hannes Pahl,A. Pikin,A. Pikin,Andrey Shornikov,F. Wenander +8 more
TL;DR: A pepperpot emittance meter was used to measure the transverse emittance of multiply charged beams from REXEBIS, an Electron Beam Ion Source (EBIS) used for charge breeding of radioactive ion beams as mentioned in this paper.
Summary of charge breeding investigations for a future $^{11}$C treatment facility
TL;DR: In this article, the authors discuss the possibilities of using a charge breeding scheme based on an Electron Beam Ion Source for beam preparation of a radioactive C beam for hadron therapy and discuss different possible scenarios of coupling a charge breeder with either a medical synchrotron or linear accelerator.
