Beam intensities of highly charged Ar ions (Ar{sup 11+,12+}) were measured as a function of plasma electrode position. We observed that the beam intensity of Ar{sup 11+,12+} increased when putting the electrode far from the electron-cyclotron-resonance zone. On the other hand, lower charged heavy ions (Ar{sup 8+,7+}) dramatically decreased. We observed that the intense beam extraction strongly affects the plasma condition. It may be due to the ion pumping effect.
