Abstract
We have developed a new magnetic monocusp ion source for single apertu re applications such as neutron generators. Coupling solenoidal magnet ic fields on both sides of a monocusp magnetic field has generated ove r 70% atomic deuterium ions at pressures as low as 0.4 Pa (3 mTorr). T his article describes the performance and characteristics of the solen oidal and monocusp ion source. (C) 1996 American Institute of Physics.
