| Since their invention in the late 1990s, Electron Cyclotron Resonance (ECR) based Charge Breeders (CB) have been used in several Isotope Separation On Line (ISOL) facilities to study radioactive ions. Many developments were carried out on these devices to enhance their performances and improve the knowledge on the ECR charge breeding process in laboratories worldwide. At LPSC, recent experiments in pulse mode were carried out to estimate plasma parameters such as the ionisation, charge exchange and confinement times, providing indications on the high charge state ions confinement. A new model of the 1+ beam capture was also proposed and experimentally verified by studying the stopping of injected ions of different masses. Present ECR charge breeder optimum efficiencies vary from 10 to 20% depending on the ion species and the facilities specifications. The total efficiency ranges from 35 to 90% and the charge breeding time from 10 to 25 ms/q. Electron Beam Ion Source (EBIS) is an alternate CB technology with lower contamination yield, yet limited injection flux capability. ECR CB sustains a higher 1+ beam intensity acceptance and its prospects to improve the efficiency, charge breeding time and beam purity are identified. | |||

At IBA a high-intensity compact self-extracting cyclotron is being studied. There is no dedicated extraction device but instead, a special shaping of the magnetic iron and the use of harmonic coils to create large turn-separation. Proton currents up to 5 mA are aimed for. This would open new ways for large-scale production of medical radioisotopes. The main features of the cyclotron are presented. A major variable of the beam simulations is the space charge effect in the cyclotron center. Using the SCALA-solver of Opera3D, we attempt to find the ion source plasma meniscus and the beam phase space and current extracted from it. With these properties known, we study the bunch formation and acceleration under high space charge condition with our in-house tracking code AOC. We also discuss a new tool that automatizes optimization of cyclotron settings for maximizing beam properties such as extraction efficiency.
