Isotope separation in plasmas by use of ion cyclotron resonance

Journal Article · · Phys. Rev. Lett.; (United States)
Selective ion-cyclotron-resonance acceleration of individual K, Ne, Cl, A, and Xe isotopes has been observed in plasmas of density 10/sup 9/ to 10/sup 11/ cm/sup -3/. Energy discriminating probes show good resolution of accelerated species in all cases. Mass spectrometer analyses of potassium samples, collected on cooled tungsten ribbons, showed /sup 41/K to /sup 39/K abundance ratios of 4 rather than the normal value of 0.07. (AIP)
