Abstract

A review of Penning ionization gauge (PIG), duoplasmatron (DP), laser-plasma ion source (LPIS), Electron cyclotron resonance ion source (ECRIS), and electron beam ion source (EBIS) used for the production of intense and high charge state ion beams is given. The outputs of high charge states of different elements of the Periodic Table from ion sources of these types are compared. Bare nuclei up to Ar can be obtained from EBIS and ECR and Xe+54 from EBIS. Comparisons are made of compilations of the output (high average current of 107–1017 pps) for different charge states of Xe for PIG, DP, ECRIS, EBIS ion sources and Ta, Pb for different charge states of the LPIS. The present level and perspectives of development (a pulsed gas feed, stationary electric field) of the PIG ion source are presented. The beam performance and future development of these intense and high charge state ion sources are discussed from the point of view of the perspectives of the cyclotron programs at FLNR and JINR.
