A study of new source/extractor configurations in liquid metal ion              sources (LMIS) will be made.  Initial experiments have shown that one           can gain an increase by a factor of  300 in total ion beam current              emitted if one uses a sharply pointed needle for the extractor in a             LMIS (consisting of CU3P metal alloy) when compared to a plane                  extractor geometry containing a circular hole as used in all previous           LMIS.  The study will include use of different materials for                    source/extractor tips, source brightness measurements, source                   stability and reliability, energy spread determination, different               source/extractor geometry as well as lifetime studies.  Research is             designed to arrive at some understanding of the physics of operation            of this new ion source configuration.
