The finite element method analysis of temperature distribution of the FAMA electron cyclotron resonance mini-oven

Abstract

The mVINIS ion source, a part of FAMA installation at Vinca Institute of Nuclear Sciences, is able to produce multiple charged heavy ion beams through the utilization of vapors created by the process of melting solids inside the miniature oven (mini-oven). The mini-oven that was used previously could only reach the maximum temperature of 800?C, which is far too low for evaporating most metals. For this purpose, a higher operating-temperature of 1500?C was needed. Our study focuses on numerical finite element method analysis of the temperature distribution of newly designed mini-oven.
