Abstract
A method for ionizing atomic and molecular beams is described, in which use is made of a space charge compensated plasma ion source of the Duoplasmatron type. In such a device the ionization yield (ionization and extraction efficiency) can be increased considerably as compared to that in conventional electron bombardment ionizers. The maximum yield of H +2 -ions from a H2-molecular beam was 3.7%. Further results are contained in the Table.
