Abstract

The paper describes a plasma ion source for ionization of low-volatile elements of a high ionization potential. The source is characterized by a high operation temperature and relatively effective ionization. Plasma in a closed volume of the hollow cathode is produced by thermoemission electrons and ionized atoms dosed to the source or diffused from the walls of heated cathode. The construction of the source makes its operation possible in electromagnetic isotope separators on-line, e.g. on a beam of highly energetic protons of YASNAPP facility (Nucl. Instrum. Methods B70 (1992) 62).
