  Many experiments in nuclear physics request the production of metallic ion beams. All elements from lithium up to uranium are of interest and most of them are required as a specific isotope which demands commonly enriched materials. Depending on the material properties beams of rare isotopes can be produced from solid materials or solid compounds. In this report the results of experiments carried out under a collaboration of JINR and iThemba LABS on the production of metallic ions from Electron Cyclotron Resonance Ion Sources (ECRIS) using resistive oven evaporation, Metal Ions from VOlatile Compounds (MIVOC) method and sputtering technique will be presented.

  The long radial probe in PSI’s Ring cyclotron delivers a radial pattern of all but the first few turns. In recent years, the measurement has been plagued by artefacts and mechanical problems. We report here on the development of a replacement, which should also provide a more flexible basis for extended measurement capabilities.

  We propose to recharge an electrostatic injection or extraction septum in a high-power cyclotron fast enough to omit the need for switching off the beam at a high voltage breakdown.

The capabilities of the K140 88-Inch Cyclotron at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (LBNL) have been extensively enhanced through generations of electron cyclotron resonance ion sources (ECRISs). The cyclotron has evolved from a light-ion accelerator into a proton to uranium accelerator and has accelerated ultra-high charge state heavy ions, such as xenon and uranium. Recently, with 124Xe49+ ions injected from VENUS (a 3rd generation ECR ion source) the 88-Inch Cyclotron reached a new record of ~ 2.6 GeV.* This is an energy increase of about fifteen-fold over what this K140 cyclotron could achieve when it started operation almost six decades ago. A 4th generation ECR ion source, MARS-D, is under development and will further raise the output energy of the cyclotron. With the higher ion charge states produced that are anticipated with a new ECR ion source, the 88-Inch Cyclotron ought to be able to accelerate ion beams of energies of 3 GeV and higher for the radiation effects testing community. This paper will present and discuss the development of the MARS-D ECR ion source and the 88-Inch Cyclotron’s recent and possible future achievements.

  ECR Ion Sources are deemed to be among the most performing ion sources feeding particle accelerators, cyclotrons in particular. Improvements of their performances strictly depend on the knowledge of plasma physics in compact magnetic traps. The paper will comment on the results obtained by the INFN-LNS team and international collaborators by means of a multi-diagnostics setup able to monitor the evolution in space and time of several plasma parameters, simultaneously with beam extraction and analysis in the LEBT, in single vs. double frequency operations, including the RF power and magnetic field scalings, and exploring regimes dominated by plasma turbulence. The results are relevant for the operations of existing ion sources and for the design of new ones. Compact magnetic traps fashioned in a similar way of ECRISs can be considered as an experimental environment by itself: we are exploring this opportunity relying to the in-plasma measurements of radionuclides lifetimes (in particular, beta-decaying elements): CosmoChronometers or nuclei involved in the s-process nucleosynthesis are among the case studies, opening new perspectives in the nuclear astrophysics field.
