Abstract A new method based on helium-jet techniques permits primary recoil ions, produced in radioactive decay or in nuclear reactions to be run directly through a mass separator. Results obtained with a 227 Ac source promise qualities complementary with those obtained with conventional ion sources and indicate an overall efficiency of the order of 10%. Preliminary results with 20 Na recoils from the 20 Ne(p,n)-reaction indicate that most of the ionic species transported out from the target chamber are negatively charged.
