A high power pulse generator Reiden III (500 kV, 120 kA) has been used to produce light ion beams. Currents in excess of 2.5 kA with current density greater than 60 A/cm 2 have been produced in a 100 ns bursts at energy 200 keV using a pinched REB diode. The measured ion-beam characteristics are in good agreement with theoretical calculation.
