Perspectives to work with heavy ions on the isochronous cyclotron U-240

This paper gives the main results of works fulfilled during 1982 concerning obtaining and acceleration of the heavy ions on cyclotron U-240. Perspectives to increase the heavy ion energy and quality of the accelerated particles are considered. A brief analysis is given for the modern methods of the MCl obtaining on the base of which one may choose in favour of the high-charged ions laser source. Specific schemes for such sources are given. Advantages, disadvantages and perspectivity to use such sources on the isochronous cyclotron U-240 of the Institute for Nuclear Research are discussed
