Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0374011A1] Process for producing ions using an ion source of the type with "several magnetic layers of electron cyclotron resonance" in which an electron beam is injected into the hyperfrequency cavity (10) of the ion source, these electrons possessing energy at least equal to the ionisation threshold energy of the atoms to be ionised; preferably, this energy lies between three and four times the energy of this ionisation threshold. <IMAGE>
