Electron bombardment ion source with small energy spread and high brightness

Abstract
The design and the operating conditions of a new electron bombardment ion source are described. The ion source produces an ion beam with a small kinetic energy spread of 0.1-0.5 eV (full width at half maximum) and a relatively high brightness of up to 50 A sr-1 m-2 for a kinetic energy of 200 eV.
