Description

A proposal for an ionizer using a hollow cathode discharge plasma is described. Ionization is via the very high current density electron beam component in the plasma, as well as from charge exchange with plasma ions. Extraction of a He+ current corresponding to approximately 50% of the incoming atomic beam flux should be possible
