[Sneap] RF ion source

[Chris Westerfeldt]

I've never done it intentionally but have had tank gas leaks and saw heavy
ion beams!  According to the HVEE literature, with the short bottle one can
get up to 70 microamperes of Nitrogen ions, and 125 microamperes with the
long bottle.  They give no information on the charge states however.
