Abstract
The MEVVA (metal vapor vacuum arc) ion source provides high current beams of multiply charged metal ions suitable for use in heavy ion synchrotrons as well as for metallurgical ion implantation. Pulsed beam currents of up to several amperes can be produced at ion energies of up to several hundred kiloelectronvolts. Operation has been demonstrated for 48 metallic ion species. The authors review the source performance when used for synchrotron injection.<>
