title: SEISM: a 60 GHz cusp electron cyclotron resonance ion source.
abstract: LPSC has been involved for several years in a challenging research and development program on the production of pulsed ions beams with high ionization efficiency primarily dedicated to radioactive ion beams. The generation of the high magnetic field requires the use of helix techniques developed at Laboratoire National des Champs Magnétiques Intenses. As a first approach, a cusp structure has been chosen. 3D simulations were used to define the geometry of the helices. The computer aided design of the mechanical parts of the magnetic structure has been performed at LPSC and was optimized to decrease the total volume of the source. The first 60 GHz magnetic structure (helices coils in their tanks, electrical, and water cooling environment) should be available before the end of 2009.
