Ion source development at KCCAMS, University of California, Irvine.
Abstract
The Keck Carbon Cycle accelerator mass spectrometry facility at the University of California, Irvine, operates a National Electronics Corporation 40-sample MC-SNICS ion source. We describe modifications that have increased beam current output, improved reliability, and made the source easier to service.
