A magnetically insulated diode, driven by a Marx generator, is used to produce intense pulsed beams of lithium, boron, or carbon ions. The type of ion is determined by the choice of material for the anode plasma source. The voltage pulse is typically 300 ns long with a peak voltage of 300 kV. The ion beams have peak current densities of 40–50 A/cm2.
