An RF ion source of the radial extraction type is modified by introducing an electron gun to supply electrons which interact radially with the source's plasma, thereby increasing ionization density. A tungsten filament is used with an accelerating electrode, under the influence of an axial magnetic field. Two plasma tubes have been tested with the same tube length (12 cms) and diameters 4and5 cms respectively. Glass-coated tungsten wires are immersed in the plasma as electrical probes. Two extraction electrodes of apertures 4 and 8 mm are used. The extraction characteristics indicate 15% increase in the extracted ion beam.
