Setup for isotope separation by the ICR-heating method

A design of a setup for performing ICR isotope separation is examined. Its main components are based on new physical concepts. It is proposed that ionization of matter will occur in a discharge with crossed electric and magnetic fields. New hf antennas are proposed for ICR heating, making the heating process highly selective. The possibility of heating on the second harmonic of the ion cyclotron frequency is discussed. It is suggested that a curvilinear magnetic field be used for, separating the heated isotope, 6 figures, 24 references.
