Ion Source Technology

Accelerator Logo
- click to enlarge -

Numerous standard or specially developed Ion Sources are available and can be operated at different accelerators to provide almost every type of ion species (pdf, 33 KB). Ongoing efforts to develop unusual beams (pdf, 19 KB) - especially from molecular ions (pdf, 104 KB) - are made to support various experiments with the storage ring.
