Abstract
High temperature superconducting REBCO tape has the characteristic of maintaining high critical current density under strong external magnetic field, which makes it an ideal material for the construction of air-core electromagnets of accelerator and electron cyclotron resonance (ECR) ion source. In Research Center for Nuclear Physics, Osaka University, a non-insulated air-cored REBCO coil assembly has been constructed. This coil assebmly consists of three circular REBCO solenoid and six racetrack REBCO coil. This coil assembly will be used as an electromagnet of a multi-frequency ECR ion source, and is also developed as a key technology development of an air-core cyclotron. The magnetic field of this ion source are designed, and 77 K performance tests of the assembly are carried out in order to examine the capability of REBCO coils of inducing magnetic field under external field. In this work, the test results and the magnetic field designed for the ECR ion source will be presented and discussed.
