A new RIKEN 28 GHz superconducting ECR ion source (28 GHz-ECRIS) was constructed in 2009 in order to increase the intensity of Uranium ion beam for RIKEN RI beam factory project(RIBF). For effective and stable operation of the 28 GHz-ECRIS, its client system should have an user-friendly man-machine interface. The ECRIS control system was constructed with the Experimental Physics and Industrial Control System (EPICS) as well as RIBF control system. As a result, it was successful to provide the useful clients, such as the operation GUI panels, the XY chart application, and the data acquisition system in EPICS-based system. On the other hand, to keep beam quality from 28 GHz-ECRIS for a long beam service term, it should be possible to operate the ECRIS by members of ion source team at any time. In order to relieve concern in the overseas business trip of members of ion source team, we designed a real-time web-based client system using WebSocket*, which is a new protocol presented by Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF). In this paper, we report the system and development status in detail.

In RIKEN RIBF, we plan to install a new 18 GHz ECR ion source, which supply the intense beam of highly charged heavy ion beam into the linear accelerator RILAC. By equipping two ion sources, it is expected to be able to develop new beams while we produce the beam for the experiment of RIBF. Based on the structure of 18 GHz ECR ion source which have been developed in RIKEN, this ion source has additional features as follows:

Owing to three solenoid coils, Bext can be adjusted while Bmin is fixed to an optimum value.
We adopt the variable frequency (17.2-18.4 GHz) RF power source. Therefore, further enhancement of the beam intensity is expected because the frequency band suited to a size of plasma chamber is selectable,
In order to simplify the maintenance work, we improved a structure of the chamber.

In this contribution, we report the design of new ion source in detail.

In order to investigate the ion optical parameters of the beam line of RIKEN 28 GHz SC-ECR ion source into the new heavy ion linac (RILAC II), we measured the emittance of the heavy ion beams form RIKEN 28 GHz SC-ECR ion source. In the test experiments, we observed that the emittance of the U³⁵⁺ beam was ~100 π·mm·mrad (4 rms emittance), which is smaller than the acceptance of the accelerator (~160 π·mm·mrad). The emittance with 28 GHz was almost same as that with 18 GHz and independent on the injected RF power (1~2 kW). The size of emittance increased with decreasing the charge state. We also measured the emittance of U and oxygen ions under the same condition. In this experiment we observed that the emittance of oxygen ions was always larger than the U ion beam for same M/q. In this contribution, we report the experimental results for emittance measurement of highly charged U, Xe and O ions from RIKEN 28 GHz SC-ECR ion source in detail.

For increasing the beam intensity of highly charged heavy ions at RIKEN RIBF, we constructed new SC-ECR ion source. In the spring of 2011, we injected 28GHz microwave into the ion source and obtained first beam. Since then, we made several test experiments for increasing the beam intensity of highly charged Xe and U ion beam, and produced ~60 eμA of U³⁵⁺, ~90 eμA of U³³⁺ at the injected RF power of ~2 kW using sputtering method. In case of Xe²⁵⁺, 250 euA was obtained at RF power of 1.7 kW. Using sputtering method, we produced U³⁵⁺ ion beam longer than one month for the RIBF experiment without break. In the beginning of 2012, we installed additional GM-JT refrigerator to increase the cooling power at 4.2 K, then the total cooling power became higher than 9 W. Using it, we can use higher than 8 W of cooling power for heat load due to the absorbed X-rays. In this summer, we will install the new plasma chamber made of Al for increasing the cooling power. We will also use high temperature oven to increase the U vapor. In this contribution, we report the recent modification of the ion source and test experiments for production of U and Xe ion beam.
