Abstract

Apparatus for the production of short intense bursts of positive ions is in an early test stage at Burlington. The positive ion pulses are generated in the terminal of a 3 MV accelerator by deflecting a D.C. beam across a small aperture. The pulses after acceleration are swept across a Mobley type compression magnet. The pulses generated in the terminal are of 1 mA intensity and 10 mμs duration: on traversing the post acceleration compression magnet the pulses will be compressed in time by a factor of 10 with the resultant increase in beam intensity to 10 mA. Some of the design considerations and anticipated problem areas are discussed.
