Electron cyclotron resonance ion sources – physics, technology and future challenges

The performance of Electron Cyclotron Resonance Ion Sources (ECRIS), producing high charge state ions from a great variety of elements, has improved dramatically over the past decades, thus enabling significant advances in accelerator-based nuclear physics. The orderof-magnitude performance leaps of ECR ion sources, e.g. from 15 μA of extracted O in 1974 [1] to 4700 μA in 2016 [2], result from ...
