A source of ions consisting of a low voltage arc, yielding homogeneous ion currents of the order of ½ milliampere at low potentials is described. With such a source, atomic disintegrations have been observed with ion beam energies of less than 8kV. Approximate values of the absolute yield for protons from the deuteron on deuterium disintegration, and α-particles from the protons on lithium disintegration are obtained.
