Abstract

A microwave discharge ion source has been designed in order to obtain high efficiencies for positive ionization of the recoils to be produced at the exotics at the cyclotron Tandem facility. After a charge exchange process the negative ions will be injected into the 15-MV Tandem, already working at the Laboratorio Nazionale del Sud. The short ionization time and the fast wall recycling make this source very well suited for the purpose of high efficiency ionization of the recoils. The operational principle and the design are described in the following.
