Abstract

For the acceleration of radioactive isotopes with a mass greater than 30 amu charge breeding with an electron cyclotron resonance ion source (ECRIS) is being used at ISAC. Singly charged ions from the target ion source combination are injected into a 14.5 GHz ECRIS from PANTECHNIK and charge bred to highly charged ions with a mass to charge ratio around 6. Efficiencies from 1 to 8 % could be reached for different isotopes. The article describes the set- up of the system and reports on results obtained for efficiency as well as purity of the beam. Methods to improve the purity are discussed.
