A 29.2 GHz ECR-type source is used for primary proton beam generation.
The source was originally developed for dc operation.
A ten-fold intensity increase was demonstrated in a pulsed operation by using a very
high-brightness Fast Atomic Beam Source instead of the ECR proton source .

• Reliable long-term ∙operation of the source was demonstrated.
• Very high suppression of un-polarized beam component was
demonstrated.
• Small beam emittance (after collimation for energy separation)
and high transmission to 200 MeV.

Summary
• The new source is working. Reliable long-term operation at
steady current and polarization.
• The maintenance time is significantly reduced.
• Polarization is 80-84%, which is 3-5% higher then ECR-based
source. It is expected that polarization can be further
improved to over 85%.
• The source intensity is about 3-5 mA. Due to strong spacecharge effects only fraction of this current is transported and
accelerated in RFQ and Linac. These losses can be reduced.
