Description

An ion source based on the surface ionization principle was developed. The performance was studied by varying the temperature of the ionizing surface at various temperatures of the oven. An anomalously strong ionization of In and Ga fission fragments was observed at low (approx. 10000C) ionizing surface temperatures. The ion source is being used in the study of fission induced by charged particle beams, and for producing radioactive sources for spectroscopic studies. (orig.)
