Abstract

The ratio of ions to neutrals extracted from a hot cavity ion source can exceed by several orders of magnitude the ratio by which they are created at the cavity wall. This is explained by the existence of a plasms sheath. The sensitivity of the plasms potential to impurities can explain the difference between calculated and measured ionization efficiencies.
