CALUTRON
Patent
·
OSTI ID:4138583
An ion source suitable for use with isotope separators of the calutron class is described in which ion bombardment of source structural members is minimized to lessen deterioration. A hollow conducting block defines an arc chamber which has an ion exit opening in the form of a slot in one wall of the block. A charged electrode spaced from the opening applies an electrical field for withdrawing ions from within the block. To establish a field configuration whereby the impingement of ions on the walls of the block is reduced, the wall edges which define the slot opening are bevelled to converge in the direction of efflux of the ions.
