Angular Ion Beam Current Density Profiles
FIGURE B.3 and FIGURE B.4 show exemplary ion beam
current density
profiles for the original source d
esign as taken by a Faraday cup that was
angularly swept at a fixed distance of R=30cm from the ion source face.
Source profiles for argon and oxygen are shown for an anode current of
7.5A and at various anode potentials. Ion beam current density readings
at angles of ± 90° are nominally zero.
