Abstract

A hydrogen gas field ion source has been built specifically for use with a scanning proton muprobe. Source parameters have been measured on a testbench and show that a current of 20 nA within an angular spread of ± 550 mrad can be achieved from an Ir emitter, with an estimated virtual source size of 0.001 μm. This is 10 5 times brighter than the beam available to the muprobe from standard accelerator sources.
