Abstract

A new electron cyclotron resonance ion source (ECRIS) was constructed at the NSCL/MSU to replace the existing SC-ECRIS. This ECRIS operates at 18+14.5 GHz microwave frequencies with a planned upgrade to 24-28 GHz in the second phase of commissioning. A superconducting hexapole coil system produce the radial magnetic field; the axial trapping is produced with six superconducting solenoid coils enclosed in an iron yoke to allow the optimization of the distance between the plasma electrode and the resonant zone in the plasma. We report the details of the design, construction, and initial commissioning results of this new ECRIS.
