TL;DR Summary
I need to know what type of ion source to use for my helium particle accelerator
I am creating a helium particle accelerator and I have most of the measurement's down, such as the drift tube length, the pressure the system needs to be at ect. But I am stuck on what type of ion source I should use for the start of the whole thing. I have been leaning towards using a sputter gun but am unsure that this would even work. Anyone help me out?

Why helium?

More generally, can you convince us you know what you are doing and can do this safely?

@LarryB -- Please find a local Mentor in your area who can try to help you with your project. If you are asking for advice on the Internet for this endeavor of yours, that is a bad sign.

Thread is closed for safety reasons.
 
Toponium is a hadron which is the bound state of a valance top quark and a valance antitop quark. Oversimplified presentations often state that top quarks don't form hadrons, because they decay to bottom quarks extremely rapidly after they are created, leaving no time to form a hadron. And, the vast majority of the time, this is true. But, the lifetime of a top quark is only an average lifetime. Sometimes it decays faster and sometimes it decays slower. In the highly improbable case that...
I'm following this paper by Kitaev on SL(2,R) representations and I'm having a problem in the normalization of the continuous eigenfunctions (eqs. (67)-(70)), which satisfy \langle f_s | f_{s'} \rangle = \int_{0}^{1} \frac{2}{(1-u)^2} f_s(u)^* f_{s'}(u) \, du. \tag{67} The singular contribution of the integral arises at the endpoint u=1 of the integral, and in the limit u \to 1, the function f_s(u) takes on the form f_s(u) \approx a_s (1-u)^{1/2 + i s} + a_s^* (1-u)^{1/2 - i s}. \tag{70}...
