Positive Ion Beams†

Abstract
A simple ion source is described for producing a parallel beam of monoenergetic argon ions. A h.f. discharge produces the ions and the beam is extracted through a lens system consisting of two apertures, with a grid in the aperture of the accelerating electrode. Beams can be produced up to 5 mA with diameter 2·5 cm and length 10 cm.
