“…2) and for the coupling line with the tandem. A 7 Li beam generated locally in the EXCYT target-ion-source assembly as positive ion and transformed in negative ion in the charge Different operating conditions of CEC have been explored, the charge exchange efficiency for the 25 keV lithium beam was of 0.72% as expected from the test at Oak Ridge Laboratory [4].…”

“…Moreover, since the CEC showed an increase of efficiency by decreasing the lithium beam energy [4], we decided to lower the TIS extraction voltage. The best operating point was found experimentally at 10 kV permitting to obtain higher CEC efficiency with negligible beam losses over the HV platforms with respect to higher Li beam energy.…”

In this work we present the development of beam monitoring devices consisting of thin CsI(Tl) films deposited on Aluminium support layers. The light emitted by the scintillating layer during the beam irradiation is measured by a CCD-camera. In a first prototype a thin Aluminium support layer of 6 micron allows the ion beam to easily pass through without significant energy loss and scattering effects. Therefore it turns out to be a nondestructive monitoring device to characterize on-line beam shape and beam position without interfering with the rest of the irradiation process. A second device consists of an Aluminium support layer which is thick enough to completely stop the impinging ions allowing to monitor at the same time the beam profile and the beam current intensity. Some samples have been coated by a 100 Å protective layer to prevent the film damage by atmosphere exposition. In this contribution we present our experimental results obtained by irradiating the samples with proton beams at 8.3 and 62 MeV. We also propose some innovative applications of these beam monitoring devices in different nuclear sectors such as cancer proton therapy and high intensity beam accelerators.

We introduce geoplotlib, an open-source python toolbox for visualizing geographical data. geoplotlib supports the development of hardware-accelerated interactive visualizations in pure python, and provides implementations of dot maps, kernel density estimation, spatial graphs, Voronoi tesselation, shapefiles and many more common spatial visualizations. We describe geoplotlib design, functionalities and use cases.
