What kind of ion source?
Accelerator (linear/cyclotron) gives some boundary condition!
- Continues or pulsed beam?
- A+ or Aq+(low versus high charge states)?
- Intensity requirement?- Variety of elements? Charge breeding? Etc...
ECRIS

1) Sufficient magnetic field (including correct structure)
2) Electrons rotating in magnetic field
3) Microwaves

R. Geller proposed:
as high microwave frequency as possible is wanted!
PROBLEM: Higher magnetic field is required!!

ECRIS generations
1st generation: 6.4 GHz MSU RT-ECRIS, TAMU 6.4 GHz, etc
2nd generation: 14 GHz ECRIS AECR, Artemis, Caprice, etc.
3rd generation: 28 GHz VENUS, SECRAL, several under
construction: Requires SC-technique!
December 2007 ESF-Workshop, Athens, Greece
The requirements of next generation heavy ion facilities made the development of 3rd Generation sources (and maybe 4th Generation) ECR ion sources necessary

ECRIS-56
December 2007 ESF-Workshop, Athens, Greece
MS-ECRIS won’t be a 4th generation ECRIS even if 56 GHz can be tested
It won’t fulfill the scaling law for the magnetic fields!
It will be a step between the 3rd and 4th generationECRIS (3.5 generation)
4th generation ECRIS requires a lot of development workfor example in the field of superconductive technique

Cryostat and Cold Mass
• Bremsstrahlung created in collisions of energetic electrons with the plasma chamber walls produce a high flux of x-rays.
• A fair amount of this energy is deposited in the cryostat
• With the original Al plasma chamber:
• 1 W/kW 28 GHz (only 2 W cooling power available)
• 150mW/kW for 18 GHz
• High voltage insulation deteriorates in the high x-ray flux
Warm BorePlasma Chamber
Bremsstrahlung will be a seriousproblem!
December 2007 ESF-Workshop, Athens, Greece
Challenges for 4th generation ECRIS
- superconducting wire to reach required B-field
- bremsstrahlung (heating of cryostat)
- cooling of plasma chamber (power up to tens of kW)
- efficient extraction to handle multi tens of mA beam
- coupling of microwaves to plasma

Production of metal ion beams
ECOS working group: “In order to meet the requirements of the future experiments with high-intensity beams, further development is needed,
especially in the production of metal-ion beams. Consequently, the development of ECR ion source will be one of the most
active areas in accelerator physics.”
Consequently a lot of human resources will beinvested in this work (very visible role during FP7)

High temperature ovens:
- inductively heated oven (above 2000˙C)
Different methods:
December 2007 ESF-Workshop, Athens, Greece
- resistively heated oven (above 2000˙C))
- sputtering (some refractory elements)
- laser ablation?

Beam transport
More beam intensity from the cyclotron is neededfor the experiments!!
Improvement of ECRIS performance does not always increase the intensity for the experiments
beam formation or/and transmission problem!!Problem in several laboratory!

Transmission efficiency decreases when beam intensityincreases!
Some reasons: 1) space charge effect (strong focusing)2) Emittance increases with beam intensity

“ECOS” needs the development of:
- ion sources for higher intensity and higher charge states
- beam formation to produce high quality beams
- high quality beam transport facility to transport beam efficiently to accelerator
-development of metal ion beam production to make newand exotic beams available
