Abstract :
Testing of the alumino-silicate ion source and the contact ionizer at high current density was satisfactory. The dispensers embedded in the extraction electrode were capable of providing sufficient cesium vapor coverage to the ionizer thus shows a promising way of constructing an ionizer for long term heavy ion fusion applications
