The Argonne inverted sputter source

Abstract

The emittance of the inverted sputter source with immersion lenses was measured to be about 5 π mm mrad $\text{MeV}\text{1}\text{2}$ at the 75% level over a wide range of beam intensities. The use of the source in experiments with radioactive sputter targets and hydrogen loaded targets is described. Self contamination of the source is discussed.
