Abstract :
The new Advanced ECR (AECR) source is being developed for the 88-in cyclotron at Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory. It operates at 14.5 GHz, compared to 6.4 GHz for the LBL ECR source. An electron gun injects electrons into the plasma chamber to increase the production of high charge state ions. The first AECR beams were injected into the cyclotron in June of 1990, and since then a variety of ion species from the AECR have been accelerated, including beam from oxygen at 32 MeV/u to bismuth at 4.6 MeV/u. A Xe/sup 32+/ beam of 1054 MeV or 8 MeV/u was accelerated.<>
