The SGECR, is a two stage superconducting ECRIS with a hexapole stabilized triple axial mirror confinemnt structure /I/. A major goal of t h i s project is to W l d and operate an ECRIS with a potential f i r s t hmmnic resonance heating range of 6-35 GHz, and to then push up the frequency from the known CW operating range of 6-14 GHz, to 28-35 GHz, as higher frequency power sources becom available a t MSU. The i n i t i a l operation, a t 6.4 GI& or 14 GHz, w i l l be considerably enhanced by
