Abstract
The Metal Vapor Vacuum Arc (MEVVA) ion source and its modifications are investigated at the Institute of Theoretical and Experimental Physics (ITEP). In a series of the experiments, the possibility of increasing the charge state of the generated uranium ion beam was revealed. The charge state increases as a result of developing a high-current vapor vacuum arc discharge from the source cathode to an auxiliary anode located in an increasing axial magnetic field. The uranium ion beam with a total current of 150 mA was obtained, U7+ uranium ions being 10% of the current.
