Compact 2.45 GHz ECR Ion Source for generation of singly-charged ions

2.45 GHz ECR ion sources are widely used for production of protons, single charged heavy ions and secondary radioactive ion beams. This paper describes the development of a compact ECR ion source based on 2.45 GHz coaxial resonator. The first results of extracted current measurements at different resonator configuration as a function of UHF frequency, power and gas flow are presented
