	In 2007, we installed a rotating disk stripper device at the final charge stripping section for the uranium (U) beam acceleration at RIKEN RI Beam Factory. The first rotating carbon disk (C-disk) stripper was useless because of its poor surface flatness and unexpected low density. In 2012, we started the stable U beam operation using beryllium (Be) as the disk material. We successfully improved the flatness of the Be-disk by special polishing technique in 2014, and the transmission efficiency was greatly improved as well. However, it seemed to be impossible that the Be-disk withstood the heat load of the expected intensity in future, considering its deformation. Then, the polishing technique for the Be-disk improvement was applied to the Glassy carbon (GC) disk. The GC-disk flatness was improved maintaining high density. In addition, a tested high-density highly oriented graphite sheet, which is fabricated from a high polymer film in high temperature and high pressure conditions, can be applied as the charge stripping disk since the better stripping efficiency and transmission value than those of Be and the C-disk were realized.

	The RIKEN Ring Cyclotron (RRC) has been in stable operation over 28 years, and has been used for supplying many types of heavy-ion beams for various experiments. Since 2007, it has also been used for supplying beams to the three Ring Cyclotrons at the Radioactive Isotope Beam Factory (RIBF). The RRC has three types of injectors: the AVF cyclotron for comparatively light ions, variable-frequency linac for heavy-ions (RILAC), and the RIKEN Heavy-ions Linac 2 (RILAC2) for using high-intensity very-heavy ions. The total operation time of the RRC is more than 4000 h/year. Recently, some problems caused by age-related deterioration have often been occurring in the RRC. Some main coils of sector magnets had a sign of layer short. Two Magnetic Deflection Channels and some electrodes of Electrostatic Deflection Channel were damaged by some beam-loss. Several leaks of vacuum have happened at a feed-through of trim coils in the E-sector, at a bellows between the Resonator No.2 and the S-sector magnet, and at some copper cooling water pipes in the Resonator No.1 and the Resonator No.2. These present statuses of the RRC are presented in this paper.

The operating time is more than 3,000 hours per year.

	The RIKEN heavy ion linac (RILAC) is composed of a variable-frequency Wideröe linac, an 18 GHz ECR ion source, a variable-frequency folded-coaxial radio frequency quadrupole linac (FC-RFQ) as a pre-injector, and a Charge-State Multiplier system (CSM) as a booster. The operation of RILAC was started to supply heavy ion beams for experiments in 1981. The 18 GHz ECR ion source and the FC-RFQ were installed in 1996. The CSM was installed in 2000. The maximum beam energy, boosted by the CSM, is 6.0 MeV/nucleon. A GAs-filled Recoil Isotope Separator (GARIS) was moved from the E1 experiment room of the RRC to the No. 1 target room of the RILAC in 2000. In RIKEN Nishina center, the experiment on the super-heavy element (Z=113) search was carried out at RILAC from September 2003 to October 2012. As a result, three events for Z=113 have been successfully observed. The heavy-ion beam acceleration at RIKEN for the super-heavy element search will be reported.

	RIKEN's 18 GHz ECR ion source supplies the AVF cyclotron with beams ranging from protons to heavy ions as xenon. From comparison with the use of the RILAC (RIKEN Linear Accelerator) and beam transport simulations it was found that the transport efficiency is much lower. To this extend and with the aim to understand the ECR beam production, beam dynamics and optimize the beam transfer we have developed an emittance monitor based on the pepperpot method. The device is composed of a perforated copper plate, transparent scintillator and a CMOS camera for image capturing. Parameters of interest for scintillator's performance are the light yield and radiation hardness. Quartz was found to be resilient to damage and having linear light emission. A real time algorithm written in LabVIEW manages the data acquisition and the 4D phase space distribution calculation. Provided this information, we can investigate parameters such as inter-plane correlation and emittance dependence on extraction specifications, beam current and the magnetic field in the ion source. In this contribution we are presenting the emittance meter design, algorithm description and a set of typical measurements.
