Experimental study of hot electrons in LECR2M plasma.
In order to investigate the hot electron component in electron cyclotron resonance (ECR) plasmas, the volume bremsstrahlung spectra in the x-ray photon energy range were measured with a high-purity germanium detector on Lanzhou ECR Ion Source No. 2 Modified (LECR2M). A collimation system similar to Bernhardi's was used to focus at the central part of the plasma. The ion source was operated under various source conditions with argon; sometimes oxygen was added to enhance high charge state ion beam intensities. The spectral temperature of hot electrons T(spe) was derived from the measured bremsstrahlung spectra. The evolution of the deduced temperature of hot electrons T(spe) with the ion source parameters, such as the rf frequency, power, and the magnetic confinement configuration, was investigated.
