Title:     A nanosecond pulsed ion source for micrometer focused ion beams

Abstract: A new, compact design of an ion source delivers nanosecond pulsed ion beams with low emittance, which can be focused to micrometer size. The ion pulse is created through multiphoton ionization with a femtosecond laser, generating up to several thousand ions per pulse. Design considerations and test measurements will be discussed. Externally triggered, its nanosecond duration and even smaller time jitter allows it to be superimposed with other pulsed particle or laser beams. It therefore can be combined with any type of collision experiment where the size and the time structure of the projectile beam crucially affect the achievable experimental resolution.

Stimulants available 15 minutes before the talk. The speaker is a candidate for a position as PET facilities operations coordinator.
