Ion sources for radioactive ion beam (RIB) generation must efficiently ionize short-lived-radioactive nuclei released from on-line targets with minimal delay times. Delay times attributable to interactions between chemically active species and surfaces of the vapor transport system which are long compared to the half-life of the desired radioactive atom and/or low ionization efficiency of the target/ion source (TIS) will result in a severe reduction of the RM intensity available for research. We have developed complementary off-line techniques for directly measuring both effusive delay times and ionization efficiencies for chemically active species in high temperature TISs using only the stable complements of the radioactive element of interest. Equipment, designed and developed for these measurements, include: a high-temperature Ta valve; a differentially cooled injection nozzle; and a gaseous flow measurement and control system. These techniques are employed in a systematic investigation of fluorine transport and ionization in an electron-beam-plasma target/ion source (EBPTIS) designed for initial use at the Holifield Radioactive Ion Beam Facility (HRIBF).
