all ion species from protons to uranium to 16% of the velocity of light, i.e., 11.4 MeV/u. Charged ions are provided by three different ion source terminals. Low intensities of highly charged ions are [...] delivers low intensities of low to intermediate charged ions and is the oldest type of source still being operated. High intensity beams of low charged ions are provided by the third terminal which can be equipped [...] equipped with a MEtal Vapor VAcuum Arc (MEVVA) source, MUlti-Cusp Ion Source (MUCIS), or Cold or HOt Reflex Discharge ion Source (CHORDIS). After electrostatic extraction from the source the dc-beam is
