Description

Internal Radio-frequency Ion Source for Cyclotrons (IRISC) is a 2.45 GHz internal H⁻ ion source designed for compact cyclotron applications. During its initial operational campaign, optical emission spectroscopy (OES) was employed to investigate the influence of key operational parameters — specifically, RF power and gas flow rate — on the generated plasma. Spectral analysis focused on the Balmer series emission lines and the Fulcher-α molecular band. The experimental results exhibit a clear correlation between operational parameters and spectral emission characteristics, demonstrating the suitability of the OES system for obtaining preliminary estimates of plasma parameters in IRISC.
