Ion Sources for High-Frequency Accelerators.

摘要

Ion sources are being applied increasingly in many areas of physics and technology, from basic research in nuclear and atomic physics to energy research, isotope separation, implantation technology, surface processing and analysis all the way to biomedicine. It is impossible within the framework of this discussion to provide a comprehensive survey of the variety of available source types. The function and problems of the types important for high-frequency accelerators are to be explained using a few individual examples in order to stimulate a basic understanding for this technically sophisticated and little-known equipment. The sources discussed here supply single or multiple positively charged ions. 54 refs., 18 figs. (ERA citation 10:034999)
