Computerized study of several electrostatic, surface-ionization ion-source configurations
Abstract
A computer based method is presented whereby the optics of electrostatic, surface ionization ion source designs can be analyzed theoretically. The analysis solves for the luminosity and dispersion of a beam of charged particles at the final collimating slit and at locations preceding the slit. The performance of an ion source tested in 1960 and also some newer optical configurations are compared with theory.
