  At INFN-LNS the commissioning of the AISHa superconducting ECRIS started in November 2016. Highly charged ion beams with low ripple, high stability and high reproducibility are the most important features for the ongoing commissioning. In this work, we will show the preliminary results of a parametric study on the extracted current/beam in order to minimize the emittance and increase the brightness taking advantage by its hybrid magnetic system and by a fine frequency tuning system.

  The LNS Superconducting Cyclotron (CS) has been working for 20 years making available a wide range of ions and energies. Its operational diagram is peculiar and many experiment are performed each year. In the near future a major upgrade is planned. This will allow to overcome the major limitation of the CS, which is the beam power limited at 100 W. In the new version of the CS, the extracted beam power will be increased up to a factor 100. This improvement will be reached adding a new extraction line dedicated to a specific set of light ions and energies extracted by stripping. The new design could affect the beam dynamics strongly. Indeed, the iron yoke penetrations don't respect the three folds symmetry of our cyclotron. This inhomogeneity produces unwanted field harmonics, which have to be reduced as much as possible to avoid beam precession or second order effects. Here the study accomplished to minimize the perturbation of the non-three fold field symmetry using the current sheet approximation (CSA) is presented, along with the state-of-art configuration of the updated cyclotron
