A high-intensity plasma sputter heavy negative ion source

Conference ·
OSTI ID:6591029

A high-intensity, pulsed-mode, plasma-sputter heavy negative ion source has been developed; this source holds promise for a number of uses, including tandem electrostatic accelerator/synchrotron injection applications. To date, the source has been used to generate mA intensities from more than 18 sputter probes. A brief description of the source and typical performance data for a number of ion species are given. 13 refs., 6 figs., 2 tabs.
