LPSC and LNCMI (Laboratoire National des Champs Magnétiques Intenses) of Grenoble have developed the first and unique magnetic confinement structure in the world that allows a closed 60 GHz ECR zone, using high field magnet technologies. The magnetic structure has been validated for 28 GHz resonance and a closed 1 T iso-B surface was measured. Calculated and measured field maps were carefully compared in order to determine an operation range for 28 GHz plasma tests. A whole test bench, including high pressure water for helix cooling, intense currents (up to 15 kA) for helix powering and a beam line with mass separation is under construction at LNCMI. This contribution presents the status of the experiment, hopefully including the results of the first beam tests scheduled in September. The 350 kW - 60 GHz gyrotron has been built at IAP, the status of its operation will be shown.

The 18 GHz PHOENIX V2 ECRIS is running since 2010 on the heavy ions low energy beam transport line (LEBT) of SPIRAL2 installed at LPSC Grenoble. PHOENIX V2 will be the starting ion source of SPIRAL 2 at GANIL. The status and future developments of this source are presented in this paper. Recent studies with Oxygen and Argon beams at 60 kV have demonstrated reliable operation at 1.3 emA of O6+ and 200 eμA of Ar12+. Metallic ion beam production has been studied with the Large Capacity Oven developed by GANIL and 20 eμA of Ni19+ have been obtained. In order to improve further the beam intensities for Spiral2, an economical upgrade of the source named PHOENIX V3 has been recently decided by the project management. The goal is to double the plasma chamber volume from 0.6 to 1.2 liter by increasing the chamber wall radius, keeping the whole magnetic confinement intensity unchanged. The PHOENIX V3 magnetic design will be presented along with a status of the project.

  The PHOENIX ECR charge breeder characteristics (efficiency and charge breeding time) were measured at CERN-ISOLDE and LPSC, they were considered as sufficient to allow its setup on various facilities (TRIUMF-Canada/GANIL-SPIRAL2-France/SPIRAL1). The developments performed at the Argonne National Laboratory (USA) have shown that the ECR charge breeder efficiencies could be much higher than the ones obtained with PHOENIX, without major differences between the two devices. We have tried to study the possible reasons of such different results in order to improve the PHOENIX charge breeder characteristics. The transmission value of the n+ beam line has been measured to be as low as 30%. Emittances of the total beam extracted from the source and of some analyzed beams (after the magnetic spectrometer) have been measured and will be presented. Simulations have shown a too low vertical acceptance at the center of the dipole. Simulations and experimental results will be presented to show how an additional Einzel lens inserted just before the dipole have drastically improve the beam transmission. The impact of this new beam transport on efficiency results will be presented.

  GANIL (Grand accélérateur National d'Ions Lourds) uses ECRIS for producing stable and radioactive ions since more than 20 years. 2 ECR4 type IS deliver intense multi-charged stable ion beams of gaseous and metallic elements to cyclotrons for post acceleration to energies up to 100 A·MeV. A full permanent magnet ECRIS is also used for producing multi-charged radioactive ion beams in the frame of SPIRAL 1 (Système de Production d'Ions radioactifs Accélérés en Ligne, part 1). For atomic physic experiment, a high performance ECRIS named GTS developed at CENG/ Grenoble (France) is currently used to deliver high intensity, high charge state and low energy ion beams. To extend the range of radioactive ion beams available at GANIL, two ISOL (Isotope Separator On Line) projects are underway (SPIRAL2 and SPIRAL1 upgrade). In the frame of these projects, radiation hard singly-charged ECRIS, Q/A=1/3 ECRIS, 2.45 GHz deuteron ECRIS and permanent magnet TISS (Target Ion Source System) using an ECRIS are in development in parallel. A review of the main uses, current developments and performances obtained or expected with ECRISs at GANIL will be presented.
