The result of research at the A.V. Gaponov-Grekhov Institute of Applied Physics of the Russian Academy of Sciences was the development of a source of multicharged ions with high-density plasma, heated under conditions of electron cyclotron resonance (ECR) - a gasdynamic ECR source of multicharged ions. In such a source, due to the high frequency of electron collisions, the so-called quasi-gasdynamic regime of confinement in a magnetic trap is realized. The results of the first studies of the efficiency of the generation of multicharged ions in an ECR discharge with quasi-gasdynamic plasma regime in a continuous operation mode are presented. Keywords: high-current ion source, electron cyclotron resonance, magnetic plasma confinement, multicharged ions, gyrotron.
