Abstract
The TRASCO intense proton source (TRIPS) has been installed at INFN-LNS in May 2000 and is now operational. The paper describes the design of the source along with the first results obtained and the next developments. The source has been able to deliver more than 20 mA of protons from a 5 mm hole at 65 kV extraction voltage, largely above the minimum requested current density. The optimisation of the source is under way, with special care to the reliability and satisfactory results have been achieved
