The aim is the development of a predictive tool for the design of Electron Cyclotron Resonance (ECR) Ion Sources or Traps and ECR-based Charge Breeders, able to determine spatial density and energy distributions for both electrons and ions. The work mainly concerns the study of two aspects: on one hand, the interaction of an ion beam with a magnetized plasma; on the other hand, the microwave-to-plasma coupling, including the 3D plasma electrons dynamics in the confinement magnetic field and intra-particles collisions. This contribution describes the state-of-the-art of the work on both the fronts: an overview of the beam-plasma interaction, showing the latest results about the ECR-plasma density fine structure, as well as electron spatial temperature distribution will be shown.
