HIMAC has been required to realize a stable beam with the same conditions for daily operation, and has completely satistied over 15 years. We report the status of the recent operation of HIMAC. The production of carbon ions is harder effort than other ion speceis for ion sources, especially. We summarize 15 years experiences of the carbon-ion production too.}, pages = {134--139}, publisher = {National Institute of Radiological Science}, title = {15 years experience of the carbon-ion production; stability and reliability of HIMAC}, volume = {1}, year = {2009} }
