  The ALISES ion source was originally designed to reduce beam emittance at RFQ entrance by shortened the length of the LEBT. A wide opened magnetic coil at ground potential produces the fringe field needed for the ECR heating at 2.45 GHz frequency. The first part describes the commissioning of the source: Penning discharges inside the accelerating column make the high voltage power supply collapse. Experimental tests with kapton films while discharges occur, and simulations with OPERA-3D code have shown great similarities to detect the location of those discharges and allow us to make the ion source work. The second part of this paper will present the result of low intensity light ion beam production versus the plasma chamber length and radius. Those very preliminary tests give us indications to reduce the ion source dimensions.

  At CEA/Saclay, IRFU institute is in charge of the design, construction and characterization of the 140 mA continuous deuteron Injector for the IFMIF project. This injector includes the source and the low energy beam line (LEBT) with its own diagnostics. The Electron Cyclotron Resonance (ECR) ion source operates at 2.45 GHz and the 2 m long LEBT is based on 2 solenoids. Krypton gas injection in the beam line is foreseen in order to reach a high level of space charge compensation for the beam matching at the RFQ entrance. During the last months hydrogen beam has been produced in pulsed and continuous mode and the beam diagnostics have been installed and commissioned. Recently a 125 mA-100 keV pulsed deuteron beam has been produced with a 1% duty cycle. In this article, the high intensity proton and deuteron beam characterization will be presented.

  GANIL (Grand accélérateur National d'Ions Lourds) uses ECRIS for producing stable and radioactive ions since more than 20 years. 2 ECR4 type IS deliver intense multi-charged stable ion beams of gaseous and metallic elements to cyclotrons for post acceleration to energies up to 100 A·MeV. A full permanent magnet ECRIS is also used for producing multi-charged radioactive ion beams in the frame of SPIRAL 1 (Système de Production d'Ions radioactifs Accélérés en Ligne, part 1). For atomic physic experiment, a high performance ECRIS named GTS developed at CENG/ Grenoble (France) is currently used to deliver high intensity, high charge state and low energy ion beams. To extend the range of radioactive ion beams available at GANIL, two ISOL (Isotope Separator On Line) projects are underway (SPIRAL2 and SPIRAL1 upgrade). In the frame of these projects, radiation hard singly-charged ECRIS, Q/A=1/3 ECRIS, 2.45 GHz deuteron ECRIS and permanent magnet TISS (Target Ion Source System) using an ECRIS are in development in parallel. A review of the main uses, current developments and performances obtained or expected with ECRISs at GANIL will be presented.
