Performances of the SPIRAL1 charge breeder
Résumé
In the framework of the SPIRAL1 upgrade under progress at the GANIL lab, the charge breeder
based on a LPSC Phoenix ECRIS, first tested at ISOLDE has been modified as to benefit of
the last enhancements of this device from the 1+ / n+ community.
Prior to its installation in the midst of the low energy beam line of the SPIRAL1 facility, it has
been tested at the 1+/n+ LPSC test bench to evaluate its performances and investigate the
future operational modes.
This contribution shall sum up the results obtained at LPSC concerning the 1+ to n+ conversion
efficiencies for noble gazes as well as for alkali elements and the corresponding transformation
times.
