Key Points

To characterize the iron ion beam generated at LEMA-IFUNAM and confirm its energy and mass.
Produced elemental and molecular ion beams with varying charge states and current intensities.
Identified isotopic species of iron by measuring magnetic rigidity for specific charge states.
Used Rutherford Back Scattering technique to confirm energy and mass of the ion beams.
Successfully identified isotopic species of iron based on magnetic rigidity measurements.
Confirmed energy and mass of the iron ion beams using RBS technique.

Abstract

At the "Laboratorio Nacional de Espectrometría de Masas con Aceleradores" (LEMA), Institute of Physics of the National Autonomous University of Mexico (IFUNAM) it is possible to produce highly stable, elemental and molecular ion beams with a wide range of energies, depending on the charge state and current intensities, from nA to few μA. In this work we present the characterization of iron (Fe) beam. The isotopic species of Fe was identify by its magnetic rigidity for a given charge state. Energy and mass were confirmed using the Rutherford Back Scattering (RBS) technique.
