A highly efficient focusing device which uses a RF multipole field (sextupole-ion-beam guide (SPIG)) has been developed for the ion guide isotope separator on-line (IGISOL). The SPIG, placed after the nozzle, consists of six circular rods uniformly distributed on a circle in the plane perpendicular to the axis of symmetry. Under the combined action of the sextupole RF electric field produced by the rods and helium gas flow, well focused ion beams with low energy spread can be transmitted efficiently by use of the SPIG. The experimental results, using a discharge ion source, show that almost nearly 90% of the ions which leave the nozzle can be transported through the SPIG, and that the width of the kinetic energy distribution after the SPIG is about 0.8 eV (FWHM). These experimental results agree with the results of Monte Carlo simulations; the simulation studies also indicate that the size of the spatial distribution in the plane perpendicular to the symmetry axis is less than 1 mm in diameter at the end of the SPIG.
