Production of focused, low-energy, hydrogen-ion beams using a Colutron ion source

Abstract
An ion beam decelerator for energies down to 5 eV is described. The decelerator is a Menzinger retardation system that has been modified according to the results of calculations using a ray tracing model to optimize lens geometry. Performance tests of the decelerator demonstrate that H+ 2beams with currents ≥20 nA can be obtained with a spot size adjustable from 0.5 to 10 mm using a beam raster system.
