ABSTRACT
For high-power heavy ion accelerators, the development of a suitable charge stripper, which can handle intense beams, is essential. This Letter describes the first experimental demonstration of a heavy ion liquid lithium charge stripper. A 10-20 µm thick liquid lithium jet flowing at >50 m/s was formed and confirmed stable when bombarded by various heavy ion beams, while increasing the charge state of the incoming beams to the desired charge state range. This demonstration proved the existing power limitation with the conventional strippers can be overcome by the liquid-metal stripper, opening completely new possibilities in high-power accelerator development.
