Charge strippers play a critical role in many high intensity heavy ion accelerators. The recent progress on accelerator technology makes its role so critical that traditional carbon foils easily reach the limit of application due to their short lifetime. In fact the major heavy ion accelerator facilities such as GSI, MSU/ANL and RIKEN have made elaborating efforts to develop the alternatives to the carbon foils, in order to realize acceleration of very heavy ions such as uranium with high intensity. For example liquid lithium stripper has been developed at MSU/ANL and helium gas stripper and rotating Be disk stripper have been developed at RIKEN RIBF. The two strippers for RIBF greatly contributed to increase of the uranium beam intensity. However we are sure that Be disk stripper used for the second stripper will reach the limit in near future due to its large deformation, which require further developments for our intensity upgrade program.
