Ion source parameters

ECR4M-14GHz

RF power : 380 W

Mixing gaz : O2

Oven power : 3.5 W (~250°C off line)

Oven position : +6 mm

Source voltage : 18kV/1.8mA

Intensity : 4.5 µA (208Mo28+)

For <I28+> =1.4 µA during 17 days :

Consumption : 0.1 mg/h

Total ionization efficiency :  13%

Comments
Low ionization efficiency

Becomes liquid before evaporation. The plasma must be established very slowly

to avoid over-evaporation. The ionization efficiency is good.
