ION SOURCES
VacMac specializes in the design, assembly, and calibration of high-precision ion sources for demanding research environments.
For several years, we have been designing and calibrating surface-type ion sources (rhenium, tantalum, tungsten) as well as VD5-type sources, used notably in the MEDICIS experiments at CERN, in conjunction with the ISOLDE infrastructure.
Each source is:
assembled with a high level of mechanical precision,
calibrated by pyrometry to ensure controlled thermal conditions,
and then integrated into experimental targets that meet the specific requirements of nuclear and medical research.
This expertise ensures reliable reproducibility, optimal ion beam stability, and complete compatibility with state-of-the-art experimental facilities.
