During the ongoing commissioning phase at 18GHz with a stainless steel chamber,tests with various gases and some metals have been conducted with microwave power less than 3.2kW and it turned out the performance is very promising.Some record ion beam intensities have been produced,for instance,810eμA of O^(7+),505eμA of Xe^(20+),306eμA of Xe^(27+),21eμA of Xe^(34+),2.4eμA of Xe^(38+) and so on.To reach better results for highly charged ion beams,further modifications such as an aluminium chamber with better cooling,higher microwave power and a movable extraction system will be done,and also emittance measurements are being prepared.展开更多

This paper details the architecture of the optimized control system and presents the results of its use in the long-term operation of the accelerator. The control system software, based on Visual C++, was developed following the model-view-controller architecture design pattern. The data acquisition system was based on a field-programmable gate array integrated circuit. In addition, control strategies were optimized for higher operational stability. The upgraded control system was tested with a U^(33+) ion beam at SECRAL, where it provided a data acquisition time of less than 1 ms. The fast reaction time and highprecision data processing during beam tuning verified the stability and maintainability of the control system.展开更多
