Abstract

The spherical ion source of a saddle field configuration has been modified by transforming the two hemispherical cathodes to two planes. Thus, a simple ion source is available. Optimal source dimensions, and the discharge and the output ion beam characteristics have been carried out experimentally. The results have shown that the modified ion source is more efficient than the spherical one.
