Abstract
A survey of different types of ion sources used for accelerator applic ations is given. Typical problems like the source life lime, or the sp ecial need for technical solutions for specific elements will demonstr ate the advantage of each type of ion source. In any case reliability is a main topic. Besides the plasma generation of the desired element, beam formation and beam transport to the accelerator are discussed. T he influence of space charge on the beam transport can be of great imp ortance if there is no space-charge compensation. Typical results achi eved at GSI will be given for the following source types: Penning Ion Source (PIG), Electron Cyclotron Resonance (ECR), Cold or Hot Reflex D ischarge Ion Source (CHORDIS), Multicusp Ion Source (MUCIS) and MEVVA.
