Description

The new Krion-6T Electron String Ion Source (ESIS) has been recently developed at JINR as a prototype of the ion source for the Nuclotron-based Ion Collider fAcility(NICA) project [1]. The recent experiments with the Krion-6T ESIS have been done at considerably new physics conditions in continuation of a recent works of our group on basic studies of “electron strings” and its use for highly charged ion beams production [2] . Production of highly charged ion beams of Ar${}^{16+}$, Kr${}^{26+}$...Kr${}^{30+}$,
Xe${}^{30+}$...Xe${}^{41+}$, Tm${}^{26+}$...Tm${}^{51+}$ and Au${}^{30+}$...Au${}^{32+}$ will be discussed in details. Results of first runs of Krion-6T ESIS on JINR synchrotron “Nuclotron” injection complex will be discussed as well. New opportunities to produce intense carbon ion beams C${}^{4+}$ and C${}^{6+}$ with use of Krion-6T ESIS for cancer therapy accelerators [3] will be considered shortly.
