  The new ECR ion source PK-ISIS was re­cent­ly com­mis­sioned at Pan­tech­nik. Three su­per­con­duct­ing coils gen­er­ate the axial mag­net­ic field con­fig­u­ra­tion while the ra­di­al mag­net­ic field is done with mul­ti-lay­er per­ma­nent mag­nets. Spe­cial care was de­vot­ed in the de­sign of the hexap­o­lar struc­ture, al­low­ing a max­i­mum mag­net­ic field of 1.32 T at the wall of the 82 mm di­am­e­ter plas­ma cham­ber. The three su­per­con­duct­ing coils using Low Tem­per­a­ture Su­per­con­duct­ing wires are cooled by a sin­gle dou­ble stage cryo-cool­er (4.2 K). Cryo­gen-free tech­nol­o­gy is used, pro­vid­ing re­li­a­bil­i­ty, easy main­te­nance at low cost. The max­i­mum in­stalled RF power (18.0 GHz) is of 2 kW. Metal­lic beams can be pro­duced with an oven (Tmax = 1400 °C) in­stalled with an angle of 5° with re­spect to the source axis or a sput­ter­ing sys­tem, mount­ed in the axis of the source. The beam ex­trac­tion sys­tem is con­sti­tut­ed of three elec­trodes in ac­cel-de­cel con­fig­u­ra­tion. De­scrip­tion of the source and re­sults of the mag­net­ic mea­sure­ments will be given. Per­for­mances of the source in terms of beam in­ten­si­ties and charge states dis­tri­bu­tion will be pre­sent­ed.

  3D sim­u­la­tion stud­ies using RADIA code have been per­formed to op­ti­mise the mag­net­ic holes in high tem­per­a­ture su­per­con­duct­ing elec­tron cy­clotron res­o­nance (HTS-ECRIS) ion source for im­prov­ing the ex­trac­tion ef­fi­cien­cy and in­ten­si­ties of high­ly charged ions. The mag­net­ic field im­prove­ments using sim­ple tech­niques like op­ti­mi­sa­tion of iron re­gions is found to be eco­nom­i­cal. The ex­trac­tion ef­fi­cien­cy can be in­creased three-fold in the case of a hexapole mag­net de­pend­ing on the level of the uni­for­mi­ty of the fields in the high and low re­gions. This tech­nique fur­ther min­imis­es lo­cal­ized heat­ing of the plas­ma cham­ber walls which can im­prove the vac­u­um con­di­tions in an ECR ion source. For su­per­con­duct­ing sources where the x-ray heat load poses se­vere prob­lems dur­ing op­er­a­tion, such a re­duc­tion of heat­ing load is of great sig­nif­i­cance. The typ­i­cal tri­an­gu­lar pat­tern of the plas­ma im­pact ob­served on the plas­ma elec­trode of HTS ECRIS at var­i­ous tun­ing con­di­tions are re­pro­duced by the sim­u­la­tions. De­tails of the sim­u­la­tions and ex­per­i­men­tal re­sults will be pre­sent­ed.

  De­vel­op­ment of ECR ion source has demon­strat­ed that, as the em­pir­i­cal scal­ing laws sum­ma­rized, high­er mag­net­ic field with high­er op­er­a­tion fre­quen­cies will great­ly im­prove the source per­for­mance. Based on the great suc­cess of SE­CRAL, a high­er mag­net­ic field SC ECRIS is planned to meet the new ac­cel­er­a­tor de­mands at IMP. How­ev­er, there are many prac­ti­cal is­sues in the de­sign and con­struc­tion of a high­er field SC ECRIS that need to be ad­dressed. In this paper we will pre­sent and dis­cuss the de­sign fea­tures of the high­er field SC ECR with a max­i­mum axial field of 7.0 T and a ra­di­al field of 3.5 T at the plas­ma cham­ber inner sur­face, and op­er­at­ing fre­quen­cy up to 50 GHz.

  LPSC has de­vel­oped a pro­to­type of 60GHz Elec­tron Cy­clotron Res­o­nance (ECR) Ion Source called SEISM. The first 60GHz mag­net­ic struc­ture is based on a cusp ge­om­e­try, using re­sis­tive poly­he­lix coils de­signed in col­lab­o­ra­tion with the In­tense Mag­net­ic Fields Na­tion­al Lab­o­ra­to­ry (LNCMI). A ded­i­cat­ed test bench he­lices coils in their tanks, elec­tri­cal, and water cool­ing en­vi­ron­ment was built to study the me­chan­ics, ther­mal be­haviour and mag­net­ic field char­ac­ter­is­tics ob­tained at var­i­ous cur­rent lev­els. Dur­ing the last months, mea­sure­ments were per­formed for sev­er­al mag­net­ic con­fig­u­ra­tions, with up to 7000A ap­plied on the in­jec­tion/ex­trac­tion coils set. The mag­net­ic field achieved at 13000A is ex­pect­ed to allow 28GHz ECR con­di­tion. How­ev­er, cav­i­ta­tion is­sues that ap­peared around 7000A are to be solved be­fore car­ry­ing on with the tests. This con­tri­bu­tion will re­call some of the cru­cial steps in the pro­to­type fab­ri­ca­tion, and show pre­lim­i­nary re­sults from the mea­sure­ments at 7000A. Pos­si­ble ex­pla­na­tions for the dis­crep­an­cies ob­served be­tween the re­sults and the sim­u­la­tion will be given.

  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.
