Summary of 12th international ECRIS workshop [1995] (invited)a)

Abstract

The 12th international workshop on electron cyclotron resonance ion sources (ECRIS), held on 25–27 April 1995, is summarized from the following points of view: (1) steady improvement of performance, (2) better understanding of the physical processes upon which ECR ion sources are based, (3) active pursuit for better performance by using higher magnetic field and devising new technologies, and (4) expanding application of ECRIS for highly charged ions. The upper limit of performance has not been foreseen and further improvement can be expected.
