Beam Imaging Solutions (BIS) presents the legacy DCIS-100-Q ion source assembly. This ion source is of the Colutron hot cathode discharge type and used with the Model G-1 and Model G-2 Ion Gun Systems. This source is similar to the DCIS-100 design but constructed from quartz and machinable glass ceramic (Macor).

The DCIS-103 heat sink is similar to the Colutron heat sink except that it also has a solenoid magnet coil. The magnetic field can be used to improve confinement of primary ionizing electrons in the plasma, which can enhance ionization and improve beam currents. The heat sink is available in two versions. The standard version, Model DCIS-103 has 2 layers of wire and can achieve about 150 Gauss at 10 amps. The optional DCIS-103-2* has 4 layers of wire and can achieve 300 Gauss at 10 amps.
* The DCIS-103-2 requires a specialized type Colutron insulator flange to accommodate the outer diameter of the solenoid which is approximately 2.75″. This special insulator is available from Beam Imaging Solutions (Model DCIS-500).
Enhancement of proton (H+) ion beam current with DCIS-103 heat sink and Colutron model 100 ion source at 3keV. A Colutron model G-1 ion gun was used to mass separate the beam. The model FC-1 faraday cup was used to measure the beam current at 12″ from the exit of the ion gun.
