Commissioning and First Operation Experience of the New Heavy Ion Injector of the UNILAC

A new high charge state injector for acceleration of w’ to 1.4 MeV/u was designed. It consists of a 14.5 GHz ECR source, a 108 MHz RFQ linac and an interdigital H-type accelerator. The installation of the injector was completed in August 199 1. Commissioning and first operating experience with 0, Ar, Xe ions will be reported.
