The 14.5 GHz electron-cyclotron-resonance ion source (ECRIS) designed and fabricated specifically for charge breeding has been installed at the Texas A&M University Cyclotron Institute for use in the institute's ongoing radioactive-ion-beam upgrade. The initial testing of the source has just begun with magnetic analysis of the ECRIS beam. The source has only been conditioning for a brief time at low microwave power, and it is continuing to improve. After the source has been conditioned and characterized, charge-breeding trials with stable beams from a singly ionizing source will begin.
专门为电荷增殖设计制造的14.5吉赫兹电子回旋共振离子源（ECRIS）已安装在德克萨斯农工大学回旋加速器研究所，用于该研究所正在进行的放射性离子束升级项目。该离子源的初步测试刚刚开始，即对ECRIS束流进行磁分析。该离子源仅在低微波功率下进行了短时间的调试，并且仍在持续改进。在对该离子源进行调试和特性表征之后，将开始使用单电离源产生的稳定束流进行电荷增殖试验。
