Abstract
We have obtained two consecutive ion pulses separated in time by 2.6 msec from a long‐pulse (1–2 μsec) reflex tetrode ion source. The source voltage is 100 kV and the ion current density is 0.7 A/cm2. Calorimetry indicates that the energy in two pulses is equal to 180% of that in the first pulse for delays of ≳2.6 msec. For shorter delays the energy in the second pulse is reduced due to premature shorting of the diode.Keywords
