Service Areas PIG ion source service area In 2012 the PIG ion source service area was set up with new room modules. Inside the ion sources are serviced. Single use wear parts are changed and if required [...] where all parts of the ion source are being accessed very easy. On top of the modul room there are cabinets with different parts for the PIG ion source service. High current ion sources service area Since [...] service of the ECR ion source and the low energy beam transport line. It is equipped with a basic set of tools, two ultrasonic baths and a few machines needed for the maintenance of the ion source and its

venting system for the ion source vacuum chambers. Through this operators are saving time during source exchange as well as operational safety. Electrode production workshop The ion source department is [...] is able to produce sputtering electrodes for the PIG ion source as well as cathodes for the VARIS and MEVVA ion sources at its own vacuum melting oven. Two turbo molecular pumps (300l/s) are evacuating the [...] Workshops Mechanical workshop Since in the ion source department there is a lot of mechanical construction needed. There is a mechanical workshop working exclusively for the belongings of our group. The

current is defined to be 70mA. The ion source department is responsible for the proton ion source and the low energy beam transport section of the linac. Even tough the ion source is built at the partner institute [...] ng technical specifications and the interface for the later setup of the accelerator at FAIR. The ion source will be RF-driven and delivers 100mA of protons at an extraction voltage of 95kV. There is a

get its name from. The setup of the third high current terminal is under the responsibility of the ion source department.

IPAC 2010 Experiments with viewing targets for ion beams from ECRIS Electron Cyclotron Resonance Ion Sources (ECRIS) are increasingly used as ion source for different types of accelerators because of their [...] ing of the process of ion beam generation. We have found a highly structured ion beam distribution at that position. These structures caused by the hexapolar field within the ion source have already been [...] for highly charged ions. To increase the available current densities further, the frequency for electron heating has to be increased as well as the magnetic flux density within the ion source to improve
