A 14.5 GHz ECR ion source is in an advanced stage of construction at the Institute of Atomic Physics of Bucharest, Romania. This ECR multicharge heavy ion source (RECRIS) is designed to be independently used in atomic physics research as well as an injector into the existing rf heavy ion postaccelerator of the Bucharest FN tandem accelerator. The general design and main characteristics of RECRIS are presented as well as the present status and the schedule of this project. A research program and facility was started in order to study physical ways to improve the ECR ion source performances. (C) 1996 American Institute of Physics. References: 15
