Positive RF Ion Source

The NEC positive RF ion source is used on high voltage decks and single ended Pelletron Accelerators, producing over 100 μA of H and He.

Applications

The ion source is ideal for use in high voltage terminals of electrostatic accelerators. It has been used primarily to produce H+ and He+ ion beams. It has also produced modest currents of:
