  To produce the requested 10 mA proton beam for the China Initiative Accelerator Driven Sub-critical reactor Linac (CI-ADS), electron cyclotron resonance (ECR) ion sources operating at 2.45 GHz have been developed. The CI-ADS proton source developed at IMP can produced stable 35 keV/10 mA continuous wave (cw) beam at the RFQ entrance. The proton beam extracted by a 3-electrode extraction system passes through a low energy beam transport system (LEBT), which is composed of identical solenoids, into the 3.2 MeV radio-frequency quadrupole (RFQ). In order to ensure superconducting cavities commissioning and protection, an electrostatic-chopper has been designed and installed in the LEBT line that can chop the cw beam into a pulsed one. The achieved fall/rise time of the chopper is less than 20 ns. In this paper, the performance of the proton source and the LEBT, such as beam reliability, emittance and beam current tuning will be presented.

  A high intensity ECR proton source with 14 GHz microwave heating was successfully developed at IMP. The idea of the working mechanism and the structure of the proton source, as well as using 14 GHz microwave heating, were first proposed in the world. The experimental platform was set up and preliminary commissioning was performed. The experimental results indicate that the source can produce a total of 4 mA CW hydrogen beams with microwave power of 200 W and extraction voltage of 40 kV, in which H2+ and H3+ are included. The successful commissioning of the proton source demonstrates that the proposed mechanism and the structure are feasible.
