Status of the E.C.R. Heavy Ion Source and Its Interfacing with Cyclone

The construction of an E.C.R. source at the Louvain-la-Neuve cyclotron is described. Design features of the first stage are explained. For the magnetic field in the second stage, two alternative solutions are compared, and vacuum problems mentioned. Finally the beam transport and axial injection systems are described and a schedule is given for the completion of the system.
