The RIKEN AVF cyclotron was commissioned in 1989. Since then, it has been operated as an injector for the RIKEN ring cyclotron. The AVF cyclotron also provides low energy ion beams for the Radio-Isotope Beam separator (CRIB) of the Center for Nuclear Study (CNS), the University of Tokyo, as well as to produce RIs for commercial use. The operating time is more than 3,000 hours per year. We will report the operating status (nuclear species, energy, supply destination of accelerated ions), troubles, maintenance work, and the improvement of ion sources and diagnostics tools for the period from August 2014 to July 2015.

Operational status of four ring cyclotrons (RRC, fRC, IRC, SRC) from August 2014 to July 2015 is reported. We are engaging in the improvements and adjustments for increasing beam intensities year after year, and maintenances for the stabilization of beam supply. In these contributions, we will report the past performances of accelerated beams, statistics of operational and tuning time on corresponding period, as well as failures and copings with them.

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.
