High Intensity, Low Energy Spread Ion Source for Chemical Accelerators

Abstract
A simple plasma ion source which is capable of delivering beams of 1×10−6 A at 200 eV and 0.1–0.2 eV energy spread is described. Gas efficiencies of the order of percents are obtained. This source was found to be very successful in experiments using low energy beams in the electron volt region.
