  A second order transfer matrix is calculated, which is used in the calculation of a 4D phase-space distribution of a 24.6 keV He1+ beam. The calculated distribution matches a 4D phase-space distribution measured with the KVI pepper pot emittance meter. The pepper pot emittance meter is installed in the image plane of a dipole magnet acting as a charge-state analyser directly downstream the KVI AECR ion source. From the second order transfer matrix simple analytical equations are derived by retaining the terms for angular coefficients. These simple equations describe the main features of the phase-space correlations in the image plane. The equations show also that the subset of the 4D phase-space distribution, selected by one pepper pot aperture, results in multiple beam-lets. Due to this successful matrix modelling we conclude that the 4D phase-space distribution measured is fully determined by the ionoptical properties of the magnet.

  The Cyclotron Institute of Texas A&M University is currently involved in an upgrade that is intended to produce beams of radioactive ions suitable for injection into the K500 superconducting cyclotron. As an integral part of this upgrade an electron-cyclotron-resonance ion source (CB-ECRIS) has been specially constructed by Scientific Solutions of San Diego, California for charge-breeding. This CB-ECRIS operates at 14.5 GHz and incorporates a hexapole of the Halbach style. Since radial injection of microwave power is ruled out, this presents special problems for the axial injection of low-charge-state ions for charge-breeding. Efforts at charge-breeding with stable ions will be presented as well as plans for the injection of low-charge-state, radioactive ions from cyclotron-driven ion guides, one for light radioactive ions and one for heavy radioactive ions.

  At iThemba Laboratory for Accelerator Based Sciences a copy of the so-called Grenoble Test Source (GTS) for the production of highly charged ions is installed. The source in combination with the K-200 cyclotron delivers high energy, high intensity beams for nuclear physics experiments. In this paper we present beam experiments with the GTS at iThemba LABS, in which the results of CW, pulsed and afterglow operation for different bias disc voltages and positions are compared.

  The VENUS ion source functions as a research and development tool in the ECR community as well as an injector for LBNL's 88-Inch cyclotron. In order to meet the needs of both the ECR community and users at the 88-Inch cyclotron, technology such as ovens and a sputter probe have been developed for introducing metals into the plasma. Using a modified high temperature oven, VENUS has produced 450 eμA of 238U33+ and 400 eμA of 238U34+, twice the required Uranium beam current needed for FRIB. In addition, after upgrading its high voltage capabilities VENUS produced 11emA of 4He2+, a capability that remains unparalleled by other ECR ion sources. In addition to its recent record high intensities VENUS is also being developed to deliver low intensity, ultra high charge state ions for the cocktails beams, where many species are produced simultaneously for use by the BASE Facility. 124Xe43+ is now in regular production for the 16 MeV/u cocktail, and development of 209Bi56+ for the 10 MeV/u cocktail is in progress and has been accelerated through the 88-Inch cyclotron. This paper presents the latest work towards integrating the VENUS ion source into our research and operational goals.
