Abstract
Abstract A new ion source for the NAVE system was designed, constructed and tested. Its main features are described and presented with the experimental results. It is an integrated target and ion source where the high temperature of the target (∼ 2500°C) and high vacuum (≤10 −5 mbar) are normal operating conditions during long periods of time. A great stability of its main performance parameters were observed in off- and on-line experimental conditions. Ionization efficiency values of 20% for Kr 1+ and 30% for Xe 1+ , respectively, were measured showing a significant improvement compared with our old Nielsen plasma discharge type ion source. Pd and Ru isotopes were also obtained as a consequence of an increased diffusivity through the U target due to the higher operating temperature.
