	Funding: Work supported by US DOE Cooperative Agreement DE-SC0000661 Once operational, the Facility for Rare Isotope Beams (FRIB) will open the possibility to gain key understanding in nuclear science and in particular regarding the properties of nuclei far from the valley of stability or the nuclear processes in the universe. In addition it will also allow experimenters to test fundamental symmetries. The production of rare isotopes with FRIB will be achieved, using a heavy ion driver linac that will accelerate a stable isotope beam to 200 MeV/u and deliver it on a fragmentation target. FRIB aims to reach a primary beam power of 400 kW for light to heavy elements up to Uranium. To meet the intensity requirement two high performance ECR ion sources operating at 28 GHz will be used to produce high intensity of medium to high charge state ion beams. Plans regarding initial beam production with the ECR ion sources and beam transport through the front end will be discussed.

TUPOT016	Long-Term Operation Experience With Two ECR Ion Sources and Planned Extensions at HIT	ion, ion-source, extraction, proton	153
	T. Winkelmann, R. Cee, Th. Haberer, B. Naas, A. Peters HIT, Heidelberg, Germany
	The HIT (Heidelberg Ion Beam Therapy Center) is the first hospital-based treatment facility at a hospital in Europe where patients can be treated with protons and carbon ions. Since the commissioning starting in 2006 two 14.5 GHz electron cyclotron resonance ion sources are routinely used to produce a variety of ion beams from protons up to oxygen. The operating time is 330 days per year, our experience after three years of continuous operation will be presented. In the future a helium beam for patient treatment is requested, therefore a third ion source will be integrated. This third ECR source with a newly designed extraction system and a spectrometer line will be installed at a testbench to commission and validate this section. Different test settings are foreseen to study helium operation as well as enhanced parameter sets for proton and carbon beams in combination with a modified beam transport line for higher transmission efficiency. An outlook to the possible integration scheme of the new ion source into the production facility will be discussed.
