Description
A 14.5 GHz electron cyclotron resonance ion source (PHOENIX from Pantechnik) has been set up at the Isotope Separation and ACceleration (ISAC) facility at TRIUMF for the charge state breeding of radioactive ions. After extensive testing and optimization on a test bench it has been moved on-line and put into operation. During a first test in 2008 a beam of 80Rb14+ was successfully created from 80Rb1+ and accelerated by the ISAC postaccelerator. Further tests with different stable and radioactive isotopes from the ISAC on-line sources and from a test source with stable Cs have been carried out. Until now an efficiency of 1.4% for 124Cs20+ has been obtained.
