	A new type of pulse chopper called an Einzel lens chopper* is described. The Einzel lens, placed immediately after an electron cyclotron resonance ion source, is driven by high-voltage pulses generated by a newly developed solid-state Marx generator. A rectangular negative barrier pulse-voltage is controlled in time. The barrier pulse is switched on only when a beam pulse is required. When the barrier pulse is off, the DC voltage across the Einzel lens reflects ions back upstream with almost zero velocity. The device has been actually used as a chopper for the KEK Digital Accelerator, which is a small-scale induction synchrotron employing no a large injector and capable of providing a wide variety of ions, has been constructed at KEK*. A He ion beam of 50 micro-ampere was chopped in 5 micro-sec with rise/fall time of 40 nsec. T.Adachi et al., “A Solid-State Marx Generator Driven Einzel Lens Chopper”, submitted to Appl. Phys.

A new type of pulse chopper called an Einzel lens chopper* is described. The Einzel lens, placed immediately after an electron cyclotron resonance ion source, is driven by high-voltage pulses generated by a newly developed solid-state Marx generator. A rectangular negative barrier pulse-voltage is controlled in time. The barrier pulse is switched on only when a beam pulse is required. When the barrier pulse is off, the DC voltage across the Einzel lens reflects ions back upstream with almost zero velocity. The device has been actually used as a chopper for the KEK Digital Accelerator, which is a small-scale induction synchrotron employing no a large injector and capable of providing a wide variety of ions, has been constructed at KEK**. A He ion beam of 50 micro-ampere was chopped in 5 micro-sec with rise/fall time of 40 nsec.
