a large portion of atomic physics is concerned with 276 distinct species. These
276 species are contained in the thin sliver to the left hand side of this figure

between atomic and nuclear physics (for example, hyperfine interactions) one
has to introduce an additional dimension to account for isotope effects related

The trapping mechanisms for the ions
• Treat electrostatic terms as separable in r and z– good approximation for EBITs, even better for
longer EBISes• Ignore effects of B-field
– OK for ion clouds as crossing B costs no energy
• Include effects of ion charge in a self-consistent way based on Poisson’s equation 23
Trapping Potentials
Exercise 1
Treating it non-relativistically, work out the charge per unit length in a (cylindrical) electron beam of current I and energy E
Do the same for a relativistic beam
Some basic electrostatics from Hyperphysics
Gauss' Law, Integral FormThe area integral of the electric field over any closed surface is equal to the net charge enclosed in the surface divided by the permittivity of space. Gauss' law is a form of one of Maxwell's equations, the four fundamental equations for electricity and magnetism. Gauss' law permits the evaluation of the electric field in many practical situations by forming a symmetric Gaussian surface surrounding a charge distribution and evaluating the electric flux through that surface.
Exercise 2 (from a QUB 1st year tutorial question)
Often fundamental physics investigations involve the interaction of charged particle beams (protons, electrons etc.). In this question you will calculate the electric field due to such a beam. i) Consider an infinitely long, cylindrical, uniform charged particle beam of radius R, with a charge per unit length of Q. What is the charge in a cylinder of unit length and radius r lying along the axis (consider both cases r < R and r > R)?Hint uniform means the charge density is the same everywhere inside the beam. ii) Identify the relevant symmetries and hence determine the direction of the electric field everywhere, due to the charge in the beam. iii) Apply Gauss’s law to work out an expression for the magnitude electrostatic field everywhere (remember two cases r < R and r > R).
Exercise 3
Take the expressions from the last exercise and from them derive an expression for the potential due to the beam we considered in exercise 1. In doing this define your zero of potential at r=0
Radial Trapping Potential
typically about 10 V
Axial Trapping Potential• Treat as a square
well (reasonable approximation)
• Depth of the potential determined by applied voltages
• Needs a small correction for the space-charge of the electron beam This term comes from the requirement
that our radial potential matches the boundary condition at the drift tubes. In the exercises we set the potential on-axis to be zero.
Magnetic effects• Clearly the magnetic field effects the motion of the ions. • However, when collisions are considered, the magnetic field
doesn’t affect the spatial (equilibrium) distribution of the ions– Moving across the lines of B costs no energy– A more sophisticated treatment requires solution of the
Vlassov equation – There is a class of experiments where the e-beam is
turned off -> like a penning trap (already discussed by Jose)

Suggests that maybe each charge state should have its own temperature but that it is meaningful to ascribe a single temperature for all degrees of freedom for a given charge state
Density Distribution
re
Using the Vlasov equation it is possible to show that due to the effect of ion-ion collisions, the magnetic field has no effect on the ion density distribution at equilibrium. It is determined by the electrostatic potential alone.

How important is the ion space charge?
• Depends on the machine set up. • Compensation for the charge of the
electron beam can range from negligible to close to 100%
• small compensation: shallow axial trap, axial ion escape dominates
• near 100%: deep axial trap, radial escape dominates

Ion Creation + Trapping•Use a high current, high energy electron beam to
• stepwise ionize neutrals/low charged ions • provide radial trapping
•Use a series of drift tubes to provide axial trapping
Overview
• In principle many charge states can be present in both the ground state and excited states
• ionisation moves ions up the charge staircase
• radiative recombination and charge exchange move ions down the charge staircase
• escape allows ions to jump right off• system is fed by source neutral or
lowly charged ions

Charge Exchange
N.B. ion charge reduces by one, or possibly more (multiple electron transfer)
Excited states
• Because of the high charge states we are concerned with, lots of forbidden transitions have a high transition rate
• As a result there are almost no metastable states in highly charged ions– there is a rare exception in Be-like ions
• Hence we can consider all of the ions to be in their ground electronic state
• They might be in excited hyperfine states but that doesnʼt affect the ionisation dynamics
54
Overview• We can model the system by
considering the populations of each charge state
• Can consider ions as being in the ground electronic state
• Ions are not always in the electron beam
• Take this into account using ‘overlap factors’

Energy mechanisms• Electron-ion collisions
– Electron beam heating• Ion-ion collisions
– Sharing of energy among the ions
– Cross-field diffusion into spatial equilibrium distribution
• Axial escape– Preferential loss of low-
charge/ high-energy ions
– Depletes energy faster than population
p pzr
Electron beam heating• Mostly due to many long range collisions
– Well known in plasma physics (e.g. Spitzer)• For an ion inside the electron beam, the
heating rate is Coulomb logarithm
Ion-ion collisions• Equipartition time for ions of species i interacting
with species j
For similar charge states q-4
This is strongest for highly charged ions

Axial escape• High energy tails of the velocity
distribution escape– Axial component so 1-D

This model can provide a reasonable account of the observed evolution of the
charge states in EBIST machines...
... and also provide a framework for the design of experiments
which probe these same electron-ion interactions
