Negative-ion source applications (invited) [PDF]
In this paper heavy negative-ion sources which we developed and their applications for materials science are reviewed. Heavy negative ions can be effectively produced by the ejection of a sputtered atom through the optimally cesiated surface of target with a low work function.

Experimental evaluation of a negative-ion source for a heavy-ion fusion negative-ion driver [PDF]
Abstract Negative halogen ions have recently been proposed as a possible alternative to positive ions for heavy-ion fusion drivers because electron accumulation would not be a problem in the accelerator, and if desired, the beams could be photodetached to neutrals (Nucl. Instr. and Meth. A 464 (2001) 315; Fusion Sci. Technol.
