Description
For the heavy ion programme of the LHC a new ECRIS type heavy ion source had to be
designed and built for Linac3 to fullfill the intensity requirements.
Experience acquired during the installation and commissioning of the source and
during operation for the LEIR ring commissioning will be presented. The
performance of the source and its reliability are evaluated. Further requirements
for high reliability, low down time, easy maintenance and for future physics
needs will be discussed.
