Abstract
We have considered how to construct the best isotope separator. Every isotope separator can be described as an optical system (Fig. 1). Particles of an energy ε (refraction index \({\text{ }}index{\text{ }}n = \sqrt {\varepsilon }\)) leave the meniscus of the plasma of the ion source (height yQ) in the angular range \( 0 < u < \frac{\pi }{2} \). They are focused by an immersion lens (Pierce system or not) to an overcross.
