Characteristics of the KVI electron cyclotron resonance ion source

In this article, an update will be given of last year's activities to modify the CAPRICE-type ECR ion source into an AECR-type ECR ion source as developed in Berkely, Argonne and Jyvaskyla. Here we will present measurements on the radial and the axial magnetic field, the vacuum system, report on the ECR plasma produced by the KVI-AECR ion source. (c) 2006 American Institute of Physics.
