We have obtained excellent agreement between BEAM-3D calculations and beam profile and emittance measurements of the total extracted beam from the room temperature electron cyclotron resonance (RTECR), when a low degree of beam neutralization is assumed in the calculations, as will be presented in this paper. The beam envelope has approximately a quadratic dependence on drift distance, and space-charge effects dominate the early beam formation and beamline optics matching process.
