  Electron cyclotron resonance charge breeder (ECR CB) is one of the instruments used to boost the radioactive ion beam (RIB) charge state in isotope separator on-line (ISOL) facilities. While the ECR CB can manage intense 1+ RIB without difficulty, the present CB generation co extracts significant amounts of impurities which can be detrimental to the study of very low intensity N+ RIB in today facilities if no downstream high mass resolution separation is available. This work investigates the im-provements achievable with a new generation 18 GHz ECR CB applicable to future facility like EURISOL. The study shows that with a modified ion source geometry, an optimized magnetic confinement, a careful wall metal choice like beryllium, a UHV vacuum technology, the charge breeder performance will improve as follows: 20 % higher capture efficiency, -40% charge breeding time, charge state ion production with mass over charge of 3 up to xenon and over 6 up to uranium, co-extracted contam-inant density reduction by a factor 60 to 600. An 18 GHz ECR CB ion source layout is finally proposed for EURISOL.

  Investigations on the Charge Breeding (CB) time have been done with the PHOENIX ECR Charge Breeder. The traditional measurement method consists in generating a 1+ ion beam rise front and measuring the time to reach 90% of the final steady N+ ion beam intensity. In order to study the possible self-consistent effects of the accumulation of injected ions in the plasma and to better understand the 1+N+ process, short 1+ pulses were injected and the time resolved N+ beam responses were measured. Several experimental campaigns were performed with different elements and configurations. The effect of several parameters was studied like the amplitude and the width of the pulse. The measurements were also used to estimate the 1+N+ efficiencies in the case of radioactive species. The new short pulse CB time method and the experimental results will be presented.

  In the framework of the Spiral2 project, the PHOENIX V3 ion source upgrade has been developed to optimize the production of ion beams with charge over mass Q/A=1/3. The ion source aims to produce mainly metallic ions. For such beams, the atoms are often trapped into the plasma wall chamber leading to a poor global ionization efficiency. In order to study the wall capture and improve the atom to ion conversion, a temperature controlled liner is designed and under construction to test the atoms re-emission from the wall as a function of temperature in PHOENIX V3. In parallel, a hybrid particle in cells (PIC) code is under development to study the metallic ion dynamics in the plasma chamber and its extraction as an ion beam. A low temperature oven has been designed and tested leading to a global efficiency for Ca beam of above 20%. The oven was simulated and coupled to the hybrid PIC code to study the calcium atom capture from the oven to the plasma. Comparison between simulation and experience is proposed.
