Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0483004A1] The invention relates to an ion source with polarisable probe (20) making it possible to produce, from neutral atoms, a quantity of highly charged ions. This source comprises a microwave cavity (2), means (14) of producing an axial magnetic field in the cavity, means (16) of producing a multipole radial magnetic field in this cavity, a high-frequency input (4), a gas inlet (6) into the cavity, means (10) of extracting ions, and a voltage-polarisable probe (20) for improving the ionisation of the gas. <IMAGE>
