| WECOBK01 | Commissioning of the ECRIS Charge State Breeder at TRIUMF | 178 |

| Radioactive isotopes produced at the ISOL facility ISAC at TRIUMF are usually extracted from the target ion source system as singly charged ions. If the mass of those ions exceeds A=30 their acceleration requires the breeding to highly charged ions. A modified version of an ECRIS charge breeder (14.5 GHz PHOENIX from Pantechnik) has been installed and a first on-line test resulting in the successful acceleration of 80Rb14+ has been performed already in 2008. During the radioactive beam time periods of 2009 and 2010 further measurements with stable and radioactive ions from different target ion source combinations have been performed to fully commission the system. Breeding efficiencies of several percent in the maximum of the charge state distribution have been achieved. Detailed results will be presented. | ||
