| Abstract |
At INFN-LNS a new superconducting ECRIS named AISHa has been designed with the aim to provide highly charged ion beams with low ripple, high stability and high reproducibility, also fulfilling the needs of hospital installations (e.g. L-He free, easy to use, etc.). It is a hybrid ion source based on a permanent magnet hexapole providing 1.3 T on plasma chamber walls, and four superconducting coils for the axial trapping. The axial magnetic system is very flexible in order to minimize the hot electron component and to optimize the ECR heating by controlling the field gradients and the resonance length. The design of the hexapole aimed to minimize the demagnetization due to SC coils. The magnetic system measurement confirmed the effectiveness of the adopted solutions. Innovative solutions have been also implemented as it concerns the RF system design. It will permit to operate in single/double frequency mode, supported by variable frequency high power klystron generators, thus exploiting at the same time the FTE Frequency Tuning Effect and the Two Frequency Heating. The source has been assembled at the INFN-LNS site and the commissioning phase already started.
