title: New superconducting electron cyclotron resonance ion source for RIKEN RI beam factory project.
abstract: For RIKEN radio isotope beam project, we started to construct the new superconducting electron cyclotron resonance ion source (SC-ECRIS), which has an operational frequency of 28 GHz, in 2007. The main feature of this ion source is that we can produce large size of resonance zone with six sets of solenoid coils. Before starting, we intensively studied the effect of several key parameters of ECRIS (magnetic field configuration, microwave power density, negatively biased disk) on the plasma. In this article, we describe the effect of key parameters on the plasma and detailed structure of the new SC-ECRIS.
