  Standard ECR ion sources have radial magnetic field created by a multi-pole, e.g. hexapole or higher order, which fills all space in the center of the source structure. Based on the Monogan® ECRIS [1] concept, a new multicharged ECR ions source has been designed with a large opening space in the center of the source structure. This particular design allows, in a first approach, direct radial contact with the ECR plasma, allowing positioning of probes and targets for radioactive beam production very close to the plasma region. Secondly, the absence of a multi-pole allows considering extremely high magnetic fields with significantly smaller structural constraints. This source is combining the advantages of the axisymetric magnetic feature of Monogan® with higher frequencies. This paper will describe the magnetic structure calculation as well as the mechanical design and stresses of a full permanent magnet ion source using this concept. This source will be the first prototype of such an ECR ion source. Finally, using TrapCad code [2], an estimation of the electronic energy distribution has been calculated and thus, the performance of the source has been deduced. The beam formation and extraction were also roughly calculated taking into account magnetic and electric fields.
