A MISTRAL spectrometer accoutrement for the study of exotic nuclides

An ion beam cooler has been constructed to adapt the emittance of the ISOLDE rare isotope beam to the acceptance of the mass spectrometer MISTRAL at CERN. Using $^{20,22}Ne^+$ beams with an energy of E$_{beam}$ = 45 keV the transmission through the cooler was measured to be T = 0.25. An analytical m...

Description
Summary:An ion beam cooler has been constructed to adapt the emittance of the ISOLDE rare isotope beam to the acceptance of the mass spectrometer MISTRAL at CERN. Using $^{20,22}Ne^+$ beams with an energy of E$_{beam}$ = 45 keV the transmission through the cooler was measured to be T = 0.25. An analytical model to describe the transmission as a function of the trapping potential is discussed. By fitting this model to the data, the lateral energy distribution of the radially confined ions was determined to be centered at E$_0$ = 1.3(1) eV and to have a width of $\sigma_E$ = 1.6(1) eV.
