Status report on ECR ion source operation at GANIL
Year: 2004
Type: article
Abstract: Two electron cyclotron resonance ion sources, ECR 4 and ECR 4 M, provide high charge state beams to the compact cyclotrons, C01 and C02, which are alternative injectors for the GANIL cyclotrons CSS1 and CSS2. When an injector runs for a long period, the off-line source can be used for beam developments or, together with the off-line injector, deliver a beam to a new beam line, called IRRSUD, for atomic physics experiments. Various ions are requested for beam time for periods of 8 to 11 weeks. Although the majority of the required beams comes from gaseous elements, work on the production of beams of metallic ions is always a main activity. New ovens are being developed to improve the capacity and the performances of the standard micro-oven. The latest results with U238 beam, using sputtering method and Ge76 beam using recycling method, are reported here.
