Notes:
The Dubna electron cyclotron resonance ion source DECRIS-14-2 was put into regular operation at the U-400M cyclotron in the beginning of 1995. During the past two years the source has produced a wide range of ion beams for physics experiments as well as for the testing of the beam transport lines and the cyclotron itself. Ions of gases, such as He, N, O, Ne, and Ar were successfully delivered and accelerated in the cyclotron. The ion source has shown good performance especially in the case of middle charge state ions (e.g., 600 eμA of Ar8+) as well as high operational reliability. Significant progress in metal ion production has been achieved by introducing a new microoven for the evaporation of metal samples. This microoven in combination with an additional tantalum sheet installed inside the discharge chamber has made it possible to obtain Li2+ ion beams in excess of 200 eμA. © 1998 American Institute of Physics.
