ABSTRACT
A Charge Breeder (CB) is a crucial device of an ISOL facility, allowing post-acceleration of radioactive ions it accepts an incoming 1+ beam, then multiplying its charge with a highly charged q+ beam as an output. The overall performances of the facility (intensity and attainable final energy) critically depend on the charge breeder optimization. Experimental results collected along the years confirm that the breeding process is still not fully understood and room for improvements still exists a new numerical approach has been therefore developed and applied to the description of a (85)Rb(1+) beam capture by the plasma of the 14.5 GHz PHOENIX ECR-based CB, installed at the Laboratoire de Physique Subatomique et de Cosmologie (LPSC), and adopted for the Selective Production of Exotic Species project under construction at Laboratori Nazionali di Legnaro. The results of the numerical simulations, obtained implementing a plasma-target model of increasing accuracy and different values for the plasma potential, will be described along the paper results very well agree with the theoretical predictions and with the experimental results obtained on the LPSC test bench.
