INIS    -    INjector Isotope Separator


INIS is an ion source of CHORDIS type, Cold or HOt Reflex Discharge Ion Source, manufactured by DANFYSIK. It is an  ion source for gases and vapours, designed for the production of high current ion beams. Typical applications are injection to particle accelerators, ion implantation, isotope separation, ion beam mixing, sputtering, fusion plasma diagnostics etc. Here, at MSL we use it mainly for production of metallic ions which we separate and inject to CRYSIS. The ion beam can also be transported directly to an experimental set-up for laser experiments.
The ion source consists roughly of an oven/cathode chamber, a discharge chamber and an extraction system.
