In order to understand these results, we simulated beam extraction under strong influences of space charge. In the simulation, a current intensity at a different position of an extraction slit is assumed to be roughly proportional to a corresponding transverse area of ECR zone under the assumption that ions are extracted along a longitudinal magnetic flux line. The calculations show that an optimum value of the sextupole magnetic field strength may exist for a given extraction configuration and beam intensity. Based on the simulation, beam intensity measurements have been performed with six sextupole magnets having different magnetic field strengths for two ion sources, and the experimental results are consistent with the calculations.}, pages = {604--606}, title = {Study of the extracted beam and the radial magnetic field of ECR ion source}, volume = {73}, year = {2002} }
