Popis: We have investigated how to produce multicharged ions efficiently. Recently, we have focused on waves propagations in plasma and conducted the Upper-hybrid Resonance (UHR) experiments. [1] We have also conducted experiments heating by the coaxial semi-dipole antenna to enhance the right-hand polarization wave, which contributes to ECR. [2] Multicharged ion beams have been improved using various means, e.g., the increase of the magnetic field and the microwave frequency, the DC biased plate-tuner, mixing low z gases, and the multiplex frequencies heating. However, the microwave launching position has been empirically determined on conventional ECRIS’s. There is still some room for improvement with the respect to more efficient excitation of the wave propagation. In this research, we estimate the wave propagation near the ECR zone, and in the opposite peripheral region beyond it. We measure plasma parameters in those regions by two Langmuir probes inserted into each location at the same time. In near future, we optimize the microwave-launching in the case of the fundamental frequency for ECR and the second frequency for UHR in order to enhance their incidence to the vacuum chamber.
