The new hybrid Superconducting / Permanent magnet ion source PK-ISIS reaches its design performance at Pantechnik. This new source can produce intensities exceeding 1.5 mA of Oxygen 6+ and 0.23 mA of Oxygen 7+. The figure above shows the spectrum obtained with total RF-power of 1.6 kW. PK-ISIS reached more than 2.1 T axial B-injection and 1.32 T B-radial field in the wall.  Moreover, PK-ISIS integrates modern design concepts, like RF direct injection, DC-bias moving disk with a new design, out-of-axis oven and axial sputtering facility for metal beams.

The axial magnetic field is produced via three Low Temperature Superconducting (LTS) coils whilst the radial field by an ensemble - with volume equivalent to 40 liters - of Fe-Nd-B permanent magnets. PK-ISIS coils are cooled by a single cryo-cooler (cryogenic-free technology), allowing simple and easy maintenance. The total power consumption of the magnetic circuit is, therefore, less than 20 kW. This ion source is, therefore, also ideal for using in high voltage platforms.
