Initial Operation of E.C.R. Ion Sources with Cyclone

Abstract
Two heavy ion sources, using the Electron Cyclotron Resonance have been realized in Louvain-la-Neuve. They use a superconducting magnetic structure to confine the plasma. The operational characteristics are explained and present results are shown. Produced beams include fully stripped N, C and 0, Ne9+ and Ar6+. The source has been used as injector for CYCLONE and was found stable, reliable and easy to operate.
