Abstract：
The Coupled Cyclotron Facility (CCF) has been operating at the NSCL since 2001, providing up to 160MeV/u heavy ion beams for nuclear physics experiments. Recent steps, particularly the improvement of the ECR-to-K500 injection line, were taken to improve the CCF performance. For that purpose an off-line ECR source, ARTEMIS-B, was built and used to investigate the impact on beam brightness under various source operating conditions, different initial focusing systems and current analysis dipole. Beam dynamics simulations including space-charge and 3D electrostatic field effects were performed and beam diagnostics including emittance scanner were used, leading to a better understanding of the CCF beam injection process. New initial electrostatic focusing elements such as a large-bore quadrupole triplet and a quadrupole double-doublet with compensating octupole were tested, and a new beam tuning procedure was established to improve the beam brightness for the CCF. Following these efforts, a significant increase of primary beam power out of the CCF has been achieved.
