Preliminary results on the DECRIS 14-2m ECR heavy-ion injector source

The DECRIS 14-2m multiply charged heavy-ion injector source, designed, manufactured and tested at the Joint Institute of Nuclear Research, Dubna (JINR), has recently been installed and commissioned at the Cyclotron Centre of the Slovak Republic, Bratislava (CC SR). The source is of the electron cyclotron resonance (ECR) design and together with ion optics and beam transport lines is fitted to a UHV target chamber for first stage tests. A description of the source is given here together with some preliminary results on ion yield and efficiency of beam transport.
