Duoplasmatron Development

Abstract
The duoplasmatron has been studied with particular emphasis on the production of multiply charged heavy ions. Experiences and results achieved in the past lead to the construction of a source permitting the application of higher discharge power and ion extraction from the point of densest plasma. With pulsed operation, discharge conditions were found where ions up to Xe11+ are extracted. Outlines of further development of a duoplasmatron type heavy ion source are sketched.
