STATUS REPOTR ON PHYSICS RESEARCH AND TECHNOLOGY DEVELOPMENTS OF ELECTRON STRING ION SOURCES OF MULTICHARGED IONS

Electron String Ion Source (ESIS) "Krion-2" (JINR) is the first and now only ion source of such type in the world. ESIS is a sophisticated modification of Electron Beam Ion Source (EBIS) working in a reflex mode of operation under very specific conditions. Using the results of the research and the technology development the following main results were achieved in JINR with Krion-2 ESIS during recent years: Au 54+
