Abstract :
When gas cell neutralizers are inadequate for large aperture ion beams, one must turn to supersonic jets to achieve a neutralizer. A transverse supersonic jet concept for neutralizing ion beams is presented. The concept eliminates the problems posed by boundary layer development in a low density nozzle flow. Operating conditions are presented for optimum neutralizers using several gases
