Abstract
A new 2.45 GHz microwave discharge source of simple design is describe d which has been used for hydrogen, oxygen, chlorine and nitrogen to p rovide thermal energy atom beams of intensity high enough for accelera tor target studies and dissociation fractions of up to 0.90, 0.54, 0.9 6 and 0.62 respectively. The remarkably high dissociation fraction in nitrogen was obtained by applying a magnetic field along the axis of t he discharge tube.
