Chemically active radioactive species, diffused from RIB target materials, often arrive at the ionization chamber of the source in a variety of molecular forms.

In this report, emphasis is placed on issues related to selection and design of high-temperature, ion sources that have demonstrated the high ionization efficie

Radioactive ion beams (RIBs) of[sup 17]F and[sup 18]F are of interest for investigation of astrophysical phenomena such as the hot CNO cycle and the rp stellar
