Description
There is agreement in the field that highly-charged ions are more prevalent on axis in an electron cyclotron resonance (ECR) ion source. Since the net radial diffusion is outward, it would seem to follow that injecting material into the ECR plasma (especially expensive, low-abundance material) nearer the axis would be advantageous. In this paper we give a progress report on our attempts and efforts injecting low-abundance, neutral materials into the center of the plasma and suggest how these results might be used to improve the efficiency of material usage.
