Abstract
A new thermal ion source with an integrated target which is heated by electron bombardment to a temperature of 2500°C has been developed for the TRISTAN on-line fission product mass separator at Brookhaven National Laboratory. Initial on-line tests demonstrated that this ion source can extend the range of accessible elements to the rare-earth region. Yields are presented for isotopes of Ce, Pr, Pm, Sm, Eu, Gd, Tb, Dy, ho, Ga, Ge, As, Y, Zr, Nb, In, Sn and Sb.
