  In the past two years, we tried to improve the performance of the RIKEN 28GHz SC-ECRIS for production of intense U ion beam. Usually, we used the sputtering method to produce U ion beam. Last year, we produced ~200e μA of U35+ at the injected RF power of ~2.6kW, when slightly adding the U vapor with high temperature oven. For RIKEN RIBF experiment, we produced ~110 e μA of U35+ beam with sputtering method longer than one month without break. In this case, we surly need very stable beam to increase the transmission efficiency in the accelerators and avoid the any damage of the components of the accelerator due to the high power beam. In this contribution, we will report the beam intensity of highly charged U ions as a function of various parameters (magnetic field strength, RF power, sputtering voltage etc.) and the effect of these parameters on the beam stability in detail. We also present the experience of the long term operation of the ion source for the RIKEN RIBF experiments.

  The LIPAc accelerator aims to operate in Rokkasho Fusion Institute a 125 mA/CW deuteron beam at 9 MeV to validate the concept of IFMIF's accelerators that will operate in CW 125 mA at 40 MeV. The 2.45 GHz ECR injector developed by CEA-Saclay is designed to deliver 140 mA/100 keV CW D+ beam with 99% D+ fraction ratio. Its LEBT relies on a dual solenoid focusing system to transport and match the beam into the RFQ. The normalized RMS emittance at the RFQ injection cone is required to be within 0.25π mm·mrad to allow 96% transmission through the 9.81 m long RFQ. An equal perveance H+ beam of half current and half energy as nominal with D+ is used to avoid activation during commissioning. The injector commissioning at Rokkasho is divided into three phases to characterize the emittance between the two solenoids of the LEBT (A1) and just downstream the RFQ injection cone (A2) and the extraction system of the source (A3). Phase A1 has been achieved and phase A2 continues in 2016 in order to reach the required beam parameters and to match the beam into the RFQ. This paper reports the commissioning results of phase A1 and the intermediate ones of phase A2 for H+ and D+ beams.

  ECR ion source beam quality will deteriorate under the influence of beam transverse coupling and high-order magnetic field aberration. Ion beams from an ECR ion source will experience a descending axial magnetic field at the extraction region, leading to a strong transverse coupling to the extracted beam, with projection emittance growth both in horizontal and vertical and two eigen emittances separation. On the other hand, sextupole field in the ECR and the sextupole component in the analyzing dipole can also degrade the beam quality by resulting in beam distortion. Proper adjusting of the extraction field strength of the ion source and the pre-focusing solenoid field can help to weaken the correlation in the inter-plane phase spaces and reduce the projection emittances. Another approach to improve the beam quality is to compensate for the high-order magnetic fields. This paper presents the property of beam coupling in the transverse phase space by analytical theory and simulations. Some experimental results are also presented and discussed. In addition, a high-order compensation scheme is displayed, whose feasibility has been verified by preliminary tests with SECRAL at IMP.

  The Rare Isotope Science Project (RISP) has been developed the RAON accelerator to accelerate heavy ion and rare isotope beams for the various kinds of science programs. In the RAON accelerator, the beams created by a superconducting electron cyclotron resonance ion source (ECR-IS) will be accelerated by the Radio Frequency Quadrupole (RFQ) after passing through the Low Energy Beam Transport (LEBT) section. These accelerated beams will pass the Medium Energy Beam Transport (MEBT) section for the beam matching and be re-accelerated by the superconducting linac (SCL) for the higher beam energy. Prior to the construction of the RAON accelerator, the performance of each component of LEBT, RFQ, MEBT and SCL should be examined for the efficient mass production. Accordingly, we have been constructing the test facility, which is named SCL demo, since 2015. First beam test with an oxygen beam will be carried out at the end of 2016 and the next test with a bismuth beam will be performed in 2017. In this paper, we will present the beam dynamics studies with the recent lattice design of the SCL demo and describe the simulations results with the oxygen and bismuth beams.

  Four-dimensional (4-D) transverse emittance of the highly charged heavy ion beam extracted from ECR ion source is invariant under linear 4-D symplectic operation. Thus, it is essential quantity to improve the beam quality. Measurement of the 4-D phase-space distribution provides quantitative and essential information to improve the efficiency of beam transport. We have developed an on-line pepper-pot-type emittance meter, which is a suitable device to obtain the 4-D phase-space distribution from an image of beamlets passing through the well-aligned pinholes. The emittance meter consists of a thin metal plate with a pinhole array, which is translated along the beam axis, and an imaging screen (P46) with a MCP. We optimized the analysis procedure to obtain the distribution so that the elapsed time of the process was shortened as less than 1 second, and which was enough short for on-line measurements. We will discuss the quality of the obtained 4-D distribution by comparing it with the one obtained from a simulation. Further, we will also discuss how the gas pressure of LEBT affects the 4-D distribution to establish to improve the beam brightness.
