Ion sources

The so-called ion sources are the devices where the ions are generated. Ions are charged atoms. The positively charged ions used at GSI are gained by stripping electrons off the shell of the atom. GSI is able to produce ions of many different kinds of elements, more than any other laboratory in the world. Depending on the element different types of ion sources are used.
