The radio frequency (rf)-driven multicusp source was originally developed for use in the superconducting super collider injector. The source can routinely provide 30 mA of H{sup {approximately}} beam at 0.1{percent} duty factor. By adding a minute quantity of cesium to the discharge, H{sup {minus}} beam current in excess of 100 mA and e/H{approximately}1 has been achieved. The rf-driven H{approximately} source is being further developed for 6{percent} duty factor operation to be used in the national spallation neutron source. Application of the rf-driven multicusp source has been extended to radioactive ion beam production, ion projection lithography, and compact neutron tubes.{copyright} {ital 1998 American Institute of Physics.}
