 note = {The Heavy Ion Medical Accelerator in Chiba (HIMAC) at the National Institute of Radiological Sciences (NIRS) is not only dedicated to cancer therapy, but also utilized with various ion species for basic experiments of biomedical science, physics, chemistry, etc.  Two ECR ion sources are installed for production of gaseous ions.  One of them, the NIRS-ECR, is a 10GHz ECR ion source, and is mainly operated to produce C4+ ions for the daily clinical treatment.  This source realizes good reproducibility and reliability with easy operation.  The other source, NIRS-HEC, is an 18GHz ECR ion source, and is expected to produce heavier ion species.  The output ion currents of the NIRS-ECR and the NIRS-HEC are 430eA for C4+ and 1.1 emA for Ar8+, respectively.},
