We report parametric studies of an ''applied-B/sub theta/ '' magnetically insulated ion diode, and the properties of the ion beam obtained from it. The typically 250-keV ion beam extracted from this annular diode is focused by the diode field to a current density of up to 800 A/cm/sup 2/ on axis 20 cm from the diode. Anomalously rapid dispersion of the beam beyond the focal region in vacuum is eliminated by puffing gas into the drift chamber.
