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.
