Efficient Gas Ion Source with Space Charge
摘要
Abstract
The characteristics of an ion source with gas filling and electron injection were studied as part of the development of the 229mTh isomeric state ion generator. Calculations of the distribution of the electric potential and electron density in the helium media were carried out. The efficiency of ion evacuation was measured. The created technique is characterized by high efficiency and speed in combination with the possibility of forming an intense ion beam of radioactive decay and nuclear reactions products.
