An atomic and molecular beam source is described which overcomes disadvantages present in earlier types of microwave discharge sources. The source uses a resonant coaxial line which requires no tuning adjustments inside the vacuum system. No water cooling is required. The source operates efficiently over a wide discharge pressure range and for many different discharge gases.
