Abstract :
The behavior of compact electron cyclotron resonance ion sources (ECRIS) is emphasized in this article, and more specifically the Caprice ECRIS concept: a high B field (⩾1 T) source offering good performances both in extracted ion charge states and intensities, in a rather small volume, a source easy to handle and to operate. This concept like the ECRIS concept itself originated from the Grenoble group; it is quite attractive to continuous regime cyclotrons requiring high stability ion beams, but it is also well suited to delivering very high intensity particle pulses (today a few pμA of Pb28+ or Au27+ ion beams, a few ms long) of interest for synchrotron bunching. Finally the developments and activities in the field of ECRIS at Grenoble, are shortly surveyed while giving some trends and prospects
