ION BEAM OPTIC SIMULATIONS AT THE 1 MV TANDETRON (TM) FROM IFIN-HH BUCHAREST

The RO-AMS facility was commissioned in 2012 and it has been dedicated to the analysis of several radionuclides, such as: Be-10, C-14, Al-26 and I-129. A significant improvement in the operation and setup change of this machine is done by developing an analytical tool for beam diagnostics by using the SIMION (R) simulation code. Precise ion beam traceability conveys to higher detection sensitivity that is critical in the accelerator mass spectrometry applications. Furthermore, these simulations allow the analysis of various modifications in the ion beam optics of the accelerator by adding, removing or replacing components or changing their relative positions.
