Abstract
Recently, there is an increasing need for and ion sources. One example are ion therapy facilities, where and ion beams along the linac are of great interest. Another example is a test beam for linacs finally operated with intense deuteron beams. At Frankfurt, a simple proton ion source is needed to test a new kind of beam injection into a magnetic storage ring\cite{EPAC08}\cite{EPAC06}. This article describes a volume type ion source which can deliver upto beam current at in stable dc operation. It is a hot filament driven ion source which can provide high fractions of , or , depending on the operation settings.
