Abstract :
The present work has been motivated primarily by the discussions and results reported by M. Cavenago (1992) and K. Hatanaka et al. (1988) who indicate the requirements for vacuum systems of ECR ion sources. To use such source as a possible source of high charge state ions is very interesting on upgrading present heavy particle accelerators. The relevance of the ion induced pressure instability and neutral gas processes is given.
