摘要
At RIKEN,three ECR ion sources（10GHz ECRIS,18GHz ECRIS and liquid He-free SC-ECRIS） are operated as external ion sources of heavy ion accelerators.In the last year,multi-charged uranium ion beam was produced from 18GHz ECRIS by using UF<sub>6</sub> and the <sup>238</sup>U ion was successfully accelerated by the accelerator complex which consists of the RFQ linear accelerator,RIKEN heavy ion linear accelerator（RILAC）and RIKEN ring cyclotron accelerator（RRC）.The typical beam intensity of<sup>238</sup>U<sup>14+</sup> was about 2pμA on faraday cup after analysing magnet.<sup>70</sup>Zn beam was still supplied for the new super-heavy element search experiment with insertion method.Intense beam of<sup>70</sup>Zn<sup>16+</sup> was produced for long term（～43 days）without vacuum break and remarkably low material consumption rate（～100μgr/h）.We already supplied Zn beam longer than 200 days for this experiment.<sup>48</sup>Ca ion was also produced by insertion method using<sup>48</sup>CaO rod for the nuclear physics experiment.In this contribution,we will present ion source parameter and techniques for production of each of the metal ions.
