Beschreibungen/Notizen

• From April 2008 the PIAVE injector for the ALPI booster was involved in the upgrade of the high voltage platform housing an electron cyclotron resonance (ECR) source. A 14.5 GHz SUPERNANOGAN type ECR replaced the existing source ALICE; at the same time, the whole platform beam line was redesigned and beam shaping and diagnostic system were installed. The source and the platform were ready to be put into operation in January 2009. PIAVE's commissioning was started from late March and completed in May 2009 using an argon beam. A description of the upgrade will be given in the following; beam quality leading to an improved transmission through the injector will be shown. Results on first gaseous and metallic beams produced will also be given.
