The authorisation procedure is one of the regulatory tools of the European regulation (EC) REACH n°1907/2006 aiming to ban the use of substances of very high concern ( SVHC ) included in the Annex XIV of REACH, so as to replace them with technically and economically feasible alternatives. This process concerns manufac...

A radio-frequency quadrupole ( RFQ ) beam cooler is a device for particle beam cooling , especially suited for ion beams . It lowers the temperature of a particle beam by reducing its energy dispersion and emittance , effectively increasing its brightness ( brilliance ). The prevalent mechanism for cooling in this case...

An RF antenna ion source (or radio frequency antenna ion source) is an internal multi- cusp design that can produce a particle beam of about ~30 to 40 mA current. It is used in high energy particle physics and in accelerator laboratories. Previous RF antennas would penetrate the porcelain enamel coating on the antenna...
