| contents | The Electron Cyclotron Resonance Ion Plasma ACcelerator (ECRIPAC) is an original concept for a plasma-based particle accelerator able to generate pulsed ion beams with adjustable energy, targeting mostly medical applications. This paper thoroughly reviews the working principle and physical theory behind the ECRIPAC accelerator concept, incorporating significant corrections to the existing limited literature on the subject, making it a suitable reference for future studies. Mathematical derivations for several physical formulas are also included. Moreover, a detailed theoretical investigation of the stability condition for the ion acceleration is presented, highlighting more stringent limitations than previously anticipated. Next, the impact of several physical parameters on the accelerator design is analyzed, providing an overview of achievable external fields and plasma characteristics allowing a stable ion acceleration. |
