HIRFL-CSRm is a heavy ion synchrotron, named the main Cooling Storage Ring of Heavy Ion Research Facility of Lanzhou. Its role is to cool and accumulate the injected low energy ion beam, and then accelerate to high energy and extract. So, requirements for performance and safety of the magnet which directly affect the intensity and stability of ion beam is very high. This paper mainly state temperature monitoring and interlocking protection for the dipole magnets of HIRFL-CSRm to protect magnets, reduce the economic loss, and ultimately ensure safe running of HIRFL.

The Super Separator Spectrometer (S3) will receive the very high intensity heavy ion beams from the LINAG accelerator of SPIRAL2. Its privileged fields of physics are the delayed study of rare nuclei and secondary reactions with exotic nuclei. The project is presently in a phase of conceptual design. It includes a rotating target to sustain the high energy deposit, a two stages separator (momentum achromat) and spectrometer (mass spectrometer). Various detection set-ups are foreseen, especially a delayed α, γ, and electron spectroscopy array and a gas catcher coupled to a low energy branch. We present here the current status of the project and its main features.

AbstractWith the expected availability of new tools for creating patterned ion beams, containing few-nanometer features, it is important to examine the fidelity of registering such patterns in the receiving medium, such as a photoresist layer in a lithographic fabrication process. In this paper, we report experiments exploring the characteristics of ion beam patterning of poly methyl methacrylate (PMMA) and polystyrene (PS) coatings on silicon substrates, with respect to their response as positive / negative resists to patterned low-energy H+, He+ and Ne+ beams. We examine by AFM the feature profiles thus created after solvent development of the polymer layers, and we examine the dependence of the polymer response upon ion species and fluence. Edge resolution ¡Ü20 nm is readily obtained, and broad process windows are identified in fluence ranges around 1013 ions/cm2. Proximity effects are shown to be negligible, except after exposure at very high ion fluences. Granularity within the final pattern features is shown to be a potential concern for high energy, light ion irradiations. Optimization of edge resolution is clearly possible, by appropriate selection of ion species, energy and fluence to suit the receiving medium.

AbstractX-ray emission from Xe30+ ions at 350–600 keV impacting on an Au target was investigated at the Heavy Ion Research Facility at Lanzhou. Characteristic X-rays of Xe ions at energy of about 1.65 keV were observed. This X-ray emission is induced by the decay of very high Rydberg states of Xe ions. It was also found that the yield of such characteristic X-rays is decreasing with increasing the projectile kinetic energy. Simultaneously, the yield of the characteristic Au X-rays from the M shell increases also. These phenomena are qualitatively analyzed with the classical Coulomb over the Barrier Mode (COBM) for highly charged ions interacting with solid state surfaces.

The uranium silicides, including U3Si, are under study as candidate low enrichment nuclear fuels. Ion beam simulations of the in-reactor behavior of such materials are performed because a similar damage structure can be produced in hours by energetic heavy ions which requires years in actual reactor tests. This contribution treats one aspect of the microstructural behavior of U3Si under high energy electron irradiation and low dose energetic heavy ion irradiation and is based on in situ experiments, performed at the HVEM-Tandem User Facility at Argonne National Laboratory. This Facility interfaces a 2 MV Tandem ion accelerator and a 0.6 MV ion implanter to a 1.2 MeV AEI high voltage electron microscope, which allows a wide variety of in situ ion beam experiments to be performed with simultaneous irradiation and electron microscopy or diffraction.At elevated temperatures, U3Si exhibits the ordered AuCu3 structure. On cooling below 1058 K, the intermetallic transforms, evidently martensitically, to a body-centered tetragonal structure (alternatively, the structure may be described as face-centered tetragonal, which would be fcc except for a 1 pet tetragonal distortion). Mechanical twinning accompanies the transformation; however, diferences between electron diffraction patterns from twinned and non-twinned martensite plates could not be distinguished.

AbstractAn overview of the present state of high energy focused ion beam (HEFIB) system technology, nanoprobe system design and specific ion beam writing applications will be presented. In particular, the combination of P-beam, heavy-ion writing and ion implantation to produce microstructures in resists and silicon will be demonstrated.Heretofore, the development of HEFIB technology worldwide has progressed through a series of developments at independent research facilities, each having relatively narrow and mostly isolated, research purposes. However, a complete, versatile HEFIB nanoprobe system capable of both analysis and modification will require the combination of several component systems, each with specialized technology, and significant advances in the design of a complete system can only be expected from an effort that includes a coordinated development of the component parts.

The effect of irradiation with heavy ions Ne, Ar, and Kr of various energies on the structure and properties of ceramic barium cerate doped with neodymium and annealed in air at 650°C for 7 hours is studied. It is noted that blistering was observed on cerate surface during its irradiation by low energy Ne ions, whereas it was not observed under low-energy Ar and Kr ions irradiation. Irradiation of the cerate with high energy ions caused partial amorphization of the irradiated surface of the material, while the structure of the non-irradiated surface did not change. In addition, the irradiated surface of the cerate endured solid-phase structural changes. Thus, upon high-energy ions irradiation in the range of Ne, Ar, Kr the cerate surface resembled the stages of spherulite formation - nucleation, growth (view of cauliflower), formation of spherulitic crust, respectively. The increase in water molecules release and reduction of molecular oxygen release from the barium cerate, irradiated by high-energy ions is found during vacuum constant rate heating. It is concluded that cerates undergo changes to the distances significantly exceeding the ion ranges in these materials. Features of high-energy ions influence on thermal desorption of carbon dioxide from cerates show, apparently, the formation of weakly bound carbonate compounds on the cerate surface in the irradiation process.

Abstract Recent research activities relevant to high energy density physics (HEDP) driven by the heavy ion beam at the Institute of Modern Physics, Chinese Academy of Sciences are presented. Radiography of static objects with the fast extracted high energy carbon ion beam from the Cooling Storage Ring is discussed. Investigation of the low energy heavy ion beam and plasma interaction is reported. With HEDP research as one of the main goals, the project HIAF (High Intensity heavy-ion Accelerator Facility), proposed by the Institute of Modern Physics as the 12th five-year-plan of China, is introduced.
