Production of intense metal ion beams at the DC-60 cyclotron

In 2017-2018, research program of the DC-60 cyclotron (Astana Branch of the Institute of Nuclear Physics, Kazakhstan) requests acceleration of intense ion beams of solid elements. Beams of B and Fe ions are produced in ECR ion source by using the volatile compounds, while ions of Li, Mg, P and Ca are produced by evaporation from an oven. Beams of Fe-56(10+), Li-7(1+), Mg-24(4+), P-31(5+), Ca-40(7+), and B-11(2+) ions were accelerated up to energies of 1.32-1.75 MeV/u.
