Measurements of vacuum arc ion charge state distributions

Conference ·
OSTI ID:7222330
We have measured the charge state distribution of ions generated in the metal vapor vacuum arc under a wide range of experimental conditions. The experiments were carried out using an ion source in which the metal vapor vacuum arc is used as the method of plasma production and by which a high quality, high current beam of metal ions is produced. Charge state spectra were measured using a time-of-flight diagnostic; arc voltages were also measured. Parameters varied include: cathode material, arc current, axial magnetic field strength, neutral gas pressure, and arc geometry. 9 refs., 4 figs.
