High duty cycle ion sources at gsi and fair

Future heavy ion experiments at GSI and FAIR demand for high current as well as highly brillant ion beams of various metallic and gaseous ions produced by the GSI accelerator facility. Therefore GSI’s Ion Source Group is continously developing and operating various types of ion sources feeding the UNIversal Linear ACcelerator (UNILAC). In this contribution a status overview of operated high duty cycle ion sources including important ion source data as beam current and beam spectrum as well as future perspectives for the ion source operation for FAIR is presented.
