An Electron Cyclotron Resonance (ECR) heavy-ion source is under construction at the LBL 88-Inch Cyclotron. This source will produce very high charge state heavy ions, such as O/sup 8 +/ and Ar/sup 12 +/, which will increase cyclotron energies by a factor of 2-4, up to A = 80. It is a two-stage source using room temperature coils, a permanent magnet sextupole, and a 6-9 GHz microwave system. Design features include adjustable first to second stage plasma coupling, a variable second stage mirror ratio, high conductance radial pumping of the second stage, and a beam diagnostic system. A remotely movable extraction electrode will optimize extraction efficiency. The project includes construction of a transport line and improvements to the cyclotron axial injection system. The construction period is expected to be two years.
