What Does ECRIS Stand For?

ECRIS stands for Electron Cyclotron Resonance Ion Source

ECRIS, or Electron Cyclotron Resonance Ion Source, is a type of ion source that utilizes the principle of electron cyclotron resonance to generate charged particles. By applying a strong magnetic field and microwave radiation, ECRIS efficiently ionizes various gases, producing highly charged ions with precise control over their energy and intensity. This technology is widely used in nuclear physics, materials science, and medical applications, offering advantages such as high ionization efficiency and the ability to produce a diverse range of ion species.
