	Providing intense and highly charged heavy ion beams is one of the most essential and fundamental technologies to explore a trackless frontier so-called “Island of Stability” where relatively stable super heavy elements are considered to exist. Towards this goal, the development of an ion source that can provide a highly charged heavy ion beam with high intensity and low emittance is necessary. In order to provide the desired high intensity ion beam, the beam-radius expansion induced by space charge effects cannot be ignored, and it can cause considerable degradation of the beam emittance. To suppress such effects at the output of an ion source is one of the top priorities in the direction of improving both the quality and intensity of the beam. At first, we plan to examine the space charge effects with a high-intensity beam provided by the 18-GHz Superconducting ECR Ion Source at RIKEN Nishina Center. To measure the degradation of the beam emittance as function of the beam’s intensity, an in-situ emittance monitor system based on the pepperpot technique and applicable to a wide range of beam intensities is being developed. A report on the current status will be presented.

Providing intense and highly charged heavy ion beams is one of the most essential and fundamental technologies to explore a trackless frontier so-called “Island of Stability” where relatively stable super heavy elements are considered to exist. Towards this goal, the development of an ion source that can provide a highly charged heavy ion beam with high intensity and low emittance is necessary. In order to provide the desired high intensity ion beam, the beam-radius expansion induced by space charge effects cannot be ignored, and it can cause considerable degradation of the beam emittance. To suppress such effects at the output of an ion source is one of the top priorities in the direction of improving both the quality and intensity of the beam. At first, we plan to examine the space charge effects with a high-intensity beam provided by the 18-GHz Superconducting ECR Ion Source at RIKEN Nishina Center. To measure the degradation of the beam emittance as function of the beam’s intensity, an in-situ emittance monitor system based on the pepperpot technique and applicable to a wide range of beam intensities is being developed. A report on the current status will be presented.
