  The COMIC discharge cavity is a very versatile technology. We will present new results and devices that match new applications like: molecular beams, ultra compact beam line for detectors calibrations, quartz source for on-line application, high voltage platform source, sputtering /assistance broad beams and finally, a quite new use, high energy multi¬-beam production for surface material modifications. In more details, we will show that the tiny discharge of COMIC can mainly produce molecular ions (H3+). We will present the preliminary operation of the fully quartz ISOLDE COMIC version, in collaboration with IPN-Lyon, we will present a first approach for a slit extraction version of a three cavity device, and after discussing about various extraction systems on the multi discharge device (41 cavities) we will show the low energy broad beam (2 KV) and high energy multi-beams (10 beams up to 30 KV) productions. We will specially present the different extraction systems adapted to each application and the beams characteristics which are strongly dependent on the voltage distribution of an accel-accel two electrodes extraction system.

  The Van de Graaff accelerator at IRMM works since many years providing proton, deuteron and helium beams for nuclear data measurements. The original ion source was of RF type with quartz bottle. This kind of source, as well known, needs regular maintenance for which the accelerator tank must be completely opened. The heavy usage at high currents of the IRMM accelerator necessitated an opening about once every month. Recently, the full permanent magnet Microgan ECR ion source from PANTECHNIK was installed into a new terminal platform together with a solid state amplifier of 50W, a dedicated dosing system for 4 gases (with respective gas bottles H2, D2, He and Ar), and a set of dedicated power supplies and electronic devices for the remote tuning of the source. The new system shows a very stable behavior of the produced beam allowing running the Van de Graff without maintenance for several months. This contribution will describe the full installed system in details (working at high pressure in the terminal, spark effects and optic of the extraction).

  The existing KEK 500 MeV booster synchrotron is renovated into a digital accelerator (DA) capable of accelerating all species of ion [1]. The KEK-DA is an induction synchrotron employing no large injector. Its concept was demonstrated in 2006 using the 12 GeV proton synchrotron [2,3], where a proton bunch was accelerated with pulse voltages generated by a transformer instead of RF. In the KEK-DA, O, Ne, and Ar ions from the ECRIS embedded in the 200 kV high-voltage terminal (HVT) are directly injected into the ring though the low energy beam transport line. The permanent magnet ECRIS, in which a plasma is fired by x-band microwave pulses of 3 msec at 10 Hz, has been assembled at KEK. Its operational performance such as charge-state spectrum, emittance, and current is tested since the last year. In addition, the HVT with a voltage stabilizing circuit is being assembled now. Beam dynamical analysis from the cathode hall to the separation magnet, where possible charge-state ions are contaminated in the space-charge limit and beam focusing is realized through the Einzel lens and tandem acceleration gaps, is discussed as well as operational characteristics of the ECRIS.
