Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of gas stripper technology, and more particularly to a small-volume gas stripper device that alters the charge morphology of charged particles. Background Technology

[0002] In the particle beam transport system of a tandem accelerator, the gas stripper is the core device for realizing the charge state conversion of negatively charged particle beams, and its performance directly determines the beam transport efficiency and beam quality. The electron stripping process of negatively charged particles depends on the collision probability between the particles and the gas molecules in the stripping chamber, and the collision probability is directly determined by the gas pressure in the stripping chamber. Higher gas pressure means more frequent interactions between particles, thereby more efficiently changing the charge state of the charged particles.

[0003] However, in conventional designs of existing gas strippers, increasing the gas pressure within the stripping chamber to enhance the collision probability typically involves increasing the injection volume of the medium gas. This method of achieving high pressure through high gas volume requires a large amount of injected gas to be rapidly discharged through vacuum equipment to maintain the overall high vacuum environment of the accelerator. High gas volume injection easily exceeds the pumping capacity limit of the vacuum system, not only limiting further increases in gas volume but also potentially causing beam scattering due to a decrease in vacuum, reducing transmission efficiency. While high gas volume injection can increase gas pressure, it also increases the probability of inelastic collisions between the particle beam and gas molecules, leading to increased beam energy loss and increased energy divergence, affecting subsequent acceleration and focusing accuracy. Furthermore, high gas volume injection increases the cost of medium gas consumption, and some gases require additional safety control measures, further increasing system complexity and operating energy consumption.

[0004] While existing technologies have attempted to improve beam acceptance by optimizing the gas circulation structure, they have not yet overcome the inherent limitation of high gas volume dependence. This is especially true for light gases, which, due to their low density and difficulty in pumping, struggle to achieve the required pressure for effective stripping even with a large gas volume injection, resulting in charge state conversion efficiency that fails to meet practical application needs. Therefore, this invention proposes a small-volume gas stripper device that alters the charge state of charged particles. Summary of the Invention

[0052] Specifically, such as Figure 2 and Figure 7 As shown, the aforementioned peeler device includes a lower air resistance 6 installed at one end of the peeling tube 1, and an upper air resistance 7 installed at the other end of the peeling tube 1. The lower air resistance 6 is located at the bottom of the positioning platform 3. The lower air resistance 6 includes a second connecting plate 61, which has a diameter of 50 mm and a height of 2 mm. A first through hole 62 with a diameter of 5 mm is opened in the middle of the second connecting plate 61.

[0053] Please see Figure 2 and Figure 8 The upper air resistance 7 includes a connecting sleeve 71 threadedly connected to the top of the stripping tube 1. The connecting sleeve 71 has an outer diameter of 28 mm, an inner diameter of 24 mm, and a height of 20 mm. The inner diameter of the connecting sleeve 71 is threaded.

[0054] Finally, please see Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 9 The aforementioned stripper device includes flanges located at both ends of the outer sleeve 2. Each flange has a 100mm diameter hole at its center, with threads on the hole. Other dimensions are determined based on the specific application. A flange airlock 8 is installed on the side of the flange furthest from the stripper 1. The flange airlock 8 includes a fixing plate 81, which is a regular quadrilateral with a side length of 120mm and a height of 7mm. The 90° corner of the fixing plate 81 is rounded with an R10 radius. A mounting plate 82 is fixedly connected to the flange airlock 8 near the outer sleeve 2. The mounting plate 82 has a diameter of 100mm and a height of 10mm, with threads on its outer diameter. The mounting plate 82 is threaded into the flange. A third through hole 83, with a diameter of 40mm, is shared by the fixing plate 81 and the mounting plate 82 in the center.

[0055] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 and Figure 10As shown, the aforementioned peeler device includes multiple support structures 9 installed on the inner wall of the peeling tube 1, which support the peeling tube 1. Each support structure 9 includes a first positioning block 91 and a second positioning block 92, with a connecting rod 93 fixedly connected between the first positioning block 91 and the second positioning block 92.

A second threaded hole 94 is provided in the first positioning block 91, located 49.5 mm from the central axis on the plane, and is an M5 threaded hole. The first positioning block 91 is located between two first fixing blocks 41 in the same group, and the second threaded hole 94 is coaxially arranged with the first fixing block 41. The second positioning block 92 has a third threaded hole 95, which is opened horizontally and is an M4 threaded hole.

[0056] It is worth mentioning that the stripping tube 1 is inserted into the outer tube 2 from the upper port of the outer tube 2, and the side tube 16 is inserted into the second air tube 22 accordingly. One end of the side tube 16 contacts the fixed plate 23 and compresses the O-ring seal. The first connecting plate 14 is located above the positioning platform 3, and the lower air resistance 6 is located below the positioning platform 3 and is assembled and connected by an M8 hexagon socket screw. The support structure 9 is inserted into the outer tube 2 from the upper port of the outer tube 2, and the first positioning block 91 is moved between the two first fixed blocks 41 in the same group. The first fixed block 41 and the first positioning block 91 are connected by an M5 hexagon socket screw. An M4 hexagon socket screw is screwed into the third threaded hole 95 to compress the stripping tube 1. The alignment and centering of the stripping tube 1 and the outer tube 2 can be adjusted by the length of the screw. The connecting sleeve 71 is threaded to the top of the stripping tube 1. A 3 mm diameter copper wire is passed through the second positioning hole 52 and the third positioning hole 73 in the upper air resistance 7. The alignment and centering of the stripping tube 1 and the outer tube 2 can be adjusted by the number of turns of the copper wire.

[0057] In this embodiment, the medium gas required for the charge stripping reaction is injected through a middle second gas pipe 22 connected to the side wall of the outer casing 2. Since the three side pipes 16 connected to the side of the stripping tube 1 are inserted into the three second gas pipes 22 respectively, and an O-ring is installed in the mounting groove 17 at the end of the side pipe 16 away from the stripping tube 1, one end of the side pipe 16 contacts the fixing plate 23 inside the second gas pipe 22 and compresses the O-ring, thus sealing the gas passage and preventing medium gas leakage. The injected medium gas enters the first cavity 11 in the middle of the stripping tube 1 through the communication structure between the side pipe 16 and the stripping tube 1, forming a uniform reaction gas environment and providing the necessary medium for the subsequent charge stripping reaction.

[0058] The negative ion beam to be processed first passes through the flange gas resistance 8 installed on the upper flange of the outer sleeve tube 2. Specifically, it enters through the third through hole 83 jointly opened in the middle of the fixing plate 81 and the mounting plate 82 of the flange gas resistance 8. Subsequently, the beam passes through the second through hole in the middle of the positioning plate 72 of the upper gas resistance 7 installed on the upper end of the stripping tube 1 and enters the interior of the stripping tube 1. In the first cavity 11 of the stripping tube 1, the negative ion beam collides and reacts with the previously injected medium gas, achieving charge stripping. The second cavities 12 at both ends of the stripping tube 1 are connected to the first cavity 11 through a transition cavity 13. This transition structure can guide and focus the beam, ensuring that the beam enters the reaction area stably. At the same time, the upper gas resistance 7 and the lower gas resistance 6 at the lower end can limit and collimate the beam, ensuring the transmission accuracy of the beam during the reaction process.

[0059] After colliding with the medium gas, the negative ion beam loses electrons and transforms into a positive ion beam, completing the change in charge state. The positive ion beam generated by the reaction continues to propagate downwards, passing sequentially through the first through hole 62 of the lower gas resistance 6 at the lower end of the stripping tube 1, the second circular hole 34 in the middle of the intermediate disk 32 of the positioning platform 3, and finally through the third through hole 83 of the flange gas resistance 8 at the lower end of the outer sleeve tube 2, and is output to the next stage of the tandem accelerator.

[0060] To prevent the injected medium gas from diffusing into the accelerator tube and affecting its vacuum level, a first gas pipe 21 connected to one side of the outer tube 2 is connected to a molecular pump. The pump removes any leaks or small amounts of gas between the outer tube 2 and the stripping tube 1, maintaining a low vacuum environment throughout the device. Simultaneously, two second gas pipes 22 on both sides are connected to vacuum gauges, allowing real-time monitoring of vacuum changes inside the stripping tube 1. Operators can adjust the injected medium gas volume and the pumping rate based on the monitoring data to ensure the vacuum level remains stable within a reasonable range, guaranteeing the efficiency and stability of the charge stripping reaction.

[0061] Throughout the operation, the first connecting plate 14 at the bottom of the peeling tube 1 is positioned above the positioning platform 3, and the lower air resistance 6 is positioned below the positioning platform 3. It is assembled and connected to the first threaded hole 15 of the first connecting plate 14, the first connecting hole 35 of the intermediate plate 32, and the second connecting hole 63 of the lower air resistance 6 via M8 hexagonal screws, thus achieving positioning of the lower end of the peeling tube 1. The first positioning block 91 of the support structure 9 is located between the two first fixing blocks 41 in the same group as the first positioning assembly 4. It connects the first positioning hole 42 of the first fixing block 41 with the second threaded hole 94 of the first positioning block 91 via M5 hexagonal screws. An M4 hexagonal screw is screwed into the third threaded hole 95 of the second positioning block 92 to press the peeling tube 1, thereby adjusting the alignment and centering of the peeling tube 1 and the outer sleeve 2. In addition, the upper air resistance 7 is threaded to the top of the stripping tube 1 through the connecting sleeve 71.
