In the quasi-gasdynamic high-current ion source described in this work, the plasma is sustained by high-power millimeter-wave radiation under the electron cyclotron resonance (ECR) condition. In such facilities, it is possible to achieve high volumetric energy input of up to 250 W/cm3 and obtain pure proton beams with a minimum amount of impurities and molecular ions. Experiments conducted on the GISMO facility demonstrated the possibility of a proton beam formation with a current of 50 mA and an extremely high (99.9%) content of atomic ions.
