Production of CH5+
• Velocity modulated, l-N2 cooled, positive column • H3
+ + CH4 CH5+ + H2
• Low current: ~ 80 mA• 6 kHz modulation frequency• Ratio 50:1 H2:CH4
• Total pressure ~ 1 TorrE.T. White, J. Tang & T. Oka. Science, 284, 135 (1999).

Technical Challenges• Lower modulation frequency lower
current
• Lower frequency greater noise
• Higher frequencies lower pressures
