Abstract

Intense highly charged uranium (U) ion beams were produced using RIKEN 28 GHz superconducting electron cyclotron resonance (ECR) ion source in a high-temperature oven (HTO). We used a double-oven system to ensure ample vapor supply. Moreover, we optimized the vapor delivery into the plasma at a constant microwave power input. Consequently, we achieved intense U-ion beams, specifically 250 eμA for U35+, 36 eμA for U46+, and 10 eμA for U54+, at an injected microwave power of approximately 3000 W. This achievement stems from recent advancements, notably the optimization of the material consumption rates aimed at maximizing beam intensity, which we briefly review here.
