SUPERNANOGAN is an ECR source using permanent magnets for the radial and longitudinal magnetic fields, so the total electrical power is extremely reduced. It is the largest and the most powerful full permanent magnet ECR in the world. Supernanogan produces beam currents of some hundreds of electric µA around Ar8+. The RF power needed varies from 200W to 500W at 14.5 GHz. The maximum extracting voltage is 35 kV. This ion source can produce C4+ beams with intensities well suited for hadrontherapy facilities. The weight of SUPERNANOGAN is 200 kg.

Supernanogan includes a water-cooled plasma chamber (stainless steel or aluminum), a single or a double extraction electrode, a "grounded" and motorized fine tuner, a ceramic insulator for the extraction exit and another one for the gas supply. The source is mounted on an insulated mechanical support (25 kV max) which can also includes a chariot. SUPERNANOGAN can be used in high voltage platforms and terminals of electrostatic accelerators.
