Design and commissioning of an ion guide system for In-Gas Laser Ionization and Spectroscopy experiments

[摘要] Radio-frequency (RF) ion guides, also known as Linear Paul Traps, are powerful devices to efficiently transport ion beams from high to low pressure regions while keeping good ion optical properties. A set of ion guides comprising three different RF quadrupole (RFQ) structures has been designed using ion-trajectory simulations to improve the performance of the In-Gas Laser Ionizations and Spectroscopy (IGLIS) technique currently under development at KU Leuven. Results of the commissioning tests for the total transport efficiency and transient time through the ion guides as well as the longitudinal energy spread and transverse emittance are found to be in agreement with ion trajectory simulations considering a realistic ion-atom interaction potential.
