Notes:
The design and construction of a cryogenic electron beam ion source is in progress at Kansas State University. In about two years this source should produce high yields of bare and few-electron argon ions with low kinetic energies (∼keV–MeV). The design is similar to the latest French designs {CRYEBIS II [J. Arianer, C. Goldstein, H. Laurent, and M. Malard, IEEE Trans. Nucl. Sci. NS-30, 2737 (1983)] and DIONE [B. Gastineau, J. Faure, and A. Courtois, Nucl. Instrum. Methods B9, 538 (1985)]}. However, several significant changes were incorporated in order to get a simpler and more flexible design. The key factors of the operation which are expected to limit the performance are discussed. The general design is outlined which allows significant future upgrading to obtain nongaseous as well as much heavier, highly ionized ions.
