First Experiments on Ion Beam Formation at GISMO Facility

The present article demonstrates the recent results of investigations devoted to development of a new generation of a high-current ion sources and its application in a scheme of a neutron generator capable to generate neutron fluxes that surpass the state-of-the-art devices by an order of magnitude. The recent results at GISMO experimental facility on light and heavy ion beams production will be reported. Measurements results of an ion beam current, its emittance and charge state distribution will be presented.
