Description
Halogen ion beams can be produced either positively or negatively charged,
depending on the employed ion source. At CERN-ISOLDE, although positively
charged fluorine and astatine can be produced from a hot plasma ion source,
they are often contaminated by isobars and molecular sidebands. This has
generated a request from the scientific community for fluorine and astatine
negative ion beams free of contaminants. Here we report our research on the
development of new surface ion sources suitable for the production of negative
halogen beams
