A radiofrequency type ion source using a 30 Mc/s oscillator was designed with co-axial magnetic field and its operational characteristics are measured, taking oscillator power, gas pressure, magnetic field, probe voltage, and canal geometry as independent parameters. From these graphs, correlations were made with the internal phenomena of the gas discharge and of ion extraction. A maximum beam current of 8 ma at 6 kv extraction voltage was obtained. Some of the limitations and improvements on this ion source are discussed. (auth)
