A five electrode ECR Ion Source (ECRIS) was developed for the Low Energy High-Intensity Proton Accelerator (LEHIPA) at BARC. The ECRIS is operated at the energy of 50 keV with a beam current of 20 mA. The ECRIS characterization is done for the beam current, beam emittance, and proton fraction in continuous and pulse beam operation. The pulsed beam operation of the ion source starting from 500 µs to 200 ms of pulse on time with a repetition rate of 1 to 10 Hz. The transverse beam emittance measurement is done by using an Allison scanner. The beam emittance characterization experiments are conducted by varying applied microwave power to the plasma, operating gas pressure of plasma and puller voltage. The measured beam emittance is in the range of 0.3 pi.mm. mrad to 0.4 pi.mm. mrad for 50 keV beam. In this paper beam emittance experiment setup and results are discussed., Proceedings of the 12th International Particle Accelerator Conference, IPAC2021, Campinas, SP, Brazil
