Negative Heavy Ion Sources

Source of Negative Ions by Cesium Sputtering (SNICS)

This source is a versatile heavy-ion source capable of creating negative ion beams from all elements that form a stable negative ion.

Multi-Cathode Source of Negative Ions by Cesium Sputtering (MC-SNICS)

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

Electric Cathode Press – ECP 890

The ECP-890 is designed to pack powdered elemental samples into cathodes (targets) suitable to generate negative ion beams.
