High intensity production of high and medium charge state uraniumand other heavy ion beams with VENUS
The next generation, superconducting electron cyclotron resonance (ECR) ion source VENUS (versatile ECR ion source for nuclear science) started operation with 28 GHz microwave heating in 2004. Since then it has produced world record ion beam intensities. For example, 2850 e μ A of O 6 + , 200 e μ A...
