Study of some processes in the ion sources at the UMCS mass separator
Abstract
A short description of the ion source, the construction of which is based on low pressure are discharge, is presented. An investigation on the effective negative ion production was carried out for this source. A limited review of the source characteristics to demonstrate the operation of the device is included in the article. A simple method for the estimation of two important plasma parameters, namely, electron and ion temperatures is also given.
