Description

A plasma ion source is described. The plasma is produced by the Penning discharge in the system with a hollow cathode and provides the ion current up to 20 mA at the voltage of 20 kV and discharge current of 200 mA. The ion source has an accessory hollow cathode and an insert to the emitter cathode in the form of a torus. Operation resource of the cathode insert is 250-300 hours. The ion source stably operates under conditions of low vacuum and reactive gases (oxygen)
