The development of a high intensity negative ion source is part of a considerably larger activity presently undergoing at CEA Saclay in the field of high intensity linear accelerators. Preliminary studies toward the construction of a 2.45 GHz ECR H- ion source have been performed for few months. This new test bench takes advantage of our experience on the French high intensity proton source SILHI. In the new source, the high-energy electrons created in the ECR zone are trapped by a dipole magnetic filter. A rectangular 200 mm long plasma chamber and an intermediate iron shield are used to minimize the magnetic field in the extraction region. A second magnetic filter separates electrons and negative ions in a 10 kV extraction system. To reduce the electron/H- ratio, the plasma electrode is slightly polarized. The design allows future evolutions such as cesium injection, higher energy extraction and plasma diagnostics. The installation of the source is now in progress. The first helium plasma has been produced for few weeks to verify the electron separator behavior. The design, computations and the first results of the source are presented.
