We describe modification of the DANFYSIK 911A positive ion source for production of negative ions. The modification is simple and the new source is easy to maintain. For H- a beam current of 10 nA was achieved; this is sufficiently large for application of the ion source in atomic collision experiments.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
