Abstract
The feasibility of a heavy ion beam with a tandem acceleration system for plasma potential measurement has been examined. A plasma-sputter-t ype ion source which produces an Au- beam with an energy width as smal l as 6 eV and a reasonably small emittance of pi mm-mrad (MeV)(1/2), c an be used for this purpose. Suitable target gas thickness for a charg e exchange is estimated to be less than 10(15) atom/cm(2) at the 3 MV terminal voltage.
