The CEGS is a laboratory instrument designed to process samples for Accelerator Mass Spectrometry (AMS).
NEC manufactures both positive and negative ion beam sources for a variety of applications that range from a few microamps to over one hundred microamps.
Negative ion sources generate negative ions from materials introduced into the ion source as a cathode. NEC provides multiple components prepared to support the handling and preparation of solid and gas phase cathodes.
The CEGS is a laboratory instrument designed to process samples for Accelerator Mass Spectrometry (AMS).
The ECP-890 is designed to pack powdered elemental samples into cathodes (targets) suitable to generate negative ion beams.
This source is a versatile heavy-ion source capable of creating negative ion beams from all elements that form a stable negative ion.
This source is most commonly used in Accelerator Mass Spectrometry (AMS) systems and, like the SNICS, can create negative ions from all elements that form a stable negative ion
This source is primarily used for the production of He- beams but can also produce H-, NH-, and O- beams.
This source produces modest currents of negative ions from many molecular gases such as H-, O-, NH2-,CN-, and C-.
This source is our highest current source for H, He, and D.
This source produces over 100 μA of H and He and is used on high voltage decks as well as in single ended Pelletron Accelerators.
This source is used for most gases that form stable positive ions, though is primarily used to produce H+, He+, O+, and Ar+.
