A new linac injector called RILAC2* has successfully commissioned at the RIKEN RI beam factory (RIBF). The RILAC2 can accelerate very heavy ions with m/q of 7, such as 124Xe¹⁹⁺ and 238U³⁵⁺ from a 28 GHz superconducting ECR ion source**, up to an energy of 680 keV/nucleon in the cw mode. Ions are directory injected into the RIKEN Ring Cyclotron without charge stripping in order to increase the beam intensity, as well as performing independent RIBF experiments and super-heavy-element synthesis. The key features of RILAC2 are the powerful ECRIS, higher extraction voltage of the ECRIS compared to the voltage of the existing injector linac to reduce the space charge effect, improvement of the rf voltage and phase stability, improvement of the vacuum level to reduce the loss by charge exchange, and the compact equipments yet to be installed in the existing AVF cyclotron vault. The first beam acceleration was achieved on December 21, 2010. After the several beam acceleration tests in 2011, we started to operate the RILAC2 to supply beams for the RIBF experiments.
