Summary

At the "Laboratorio Nazionale del Sud" (LNS) the K-800 superconducting cyclotron is to work as a booster for the 15-MV Tandem. With this facility fully stripped light ions will reach 100 megaelectronvolts/amu, while the heaviest ions are foreseen to get 16 megaelectronvolts/amu. In order to increase both charge states and intensities, mostly for the heaviest ions, of the beams injected into the superconducting cyclotron a project for a superconducting electron cyclotron resonance (ECR) ion source has been developed and it will be carried out as a joint venture between the LNS and the CEN of Grenoble. This source will be the first superconducting ECR source to be coupled to a superconducting cyclotron in Europe, and it is particularly suited to exploit the capabilities of the K-800 superconducting cyclotron.
