METALLIC ION DEVELOPMENTS AT GANIL

Radioactive ion beams (RIB) are routinely produced at GANIL by fragmentation of the projectile. A possible way to improve the RIB intensity is to increase the primary beam intensity impinging the target. Although high intensities can be obtained with an ECR ion source for gaseous elements, it is more difficult for metallic elements due to the poor ionization efficiency of the source. This report deals with metallic ion beam production at high intensity. Experimental results for Ca, Ni and Fe are presented. The oven and the MIVOC methods are compared
