  A five elec­trode ECR Ion Source (ECRIS) was de­vel­oped for the Low En­ergy High-In­ten­sity Pro­ton Ac­cel­er­a­tor (LEHIPA) at BARC. The ECRIS is op­er­ated at the en­ergy of 50 keV with a beam cur­rent of 20 mA. The ECRIS char­ac­ter­i­za­tion is done for the beam cur­rent, beam emit­tance, and pro­ton frac­tion in con­tin­u­ous and pulse beam op­er­a­tion. The pulsed beam op­er­a­tion of the ion source start­ing from 500 µs to 200 ms of pulse on time with a rep­e­ti­tion rate of 1 to 10 Hz. The trans­verse beam emit­tance mea­sure­ment is done by using an Al­li­son scan­ner. The beam emit­tance char­ac­ter­i­za­tion ex­per­i­ments are con­ducted by vary­ing ap­plied mi­crowave power to the plasma, op­er­at­ing gas pres­sure of plasma and puller volt­age. The mea­sured beam emit­tance is in the range of 0.3 pi.​mm. mrad to 0.4 pi.​mm. mrad for 50 keV beam. In this paper beam emit­tance ex­per­i­ment setup and re­sults are dis­cussed.
