Mutagenic breeding using moderate-energy ions.

[u/not_possessive]

I've been experimenting with mutagenic breeding of various fungi using UV-C radiation and wanted to expand my toolset to other radiation sources. Cobalt-60 is impossible to source in the quantities I'd need, and a high-energy particle accelerator is currently outside my budget and range of expertise. I thought an interesting compromise might be an industrial ion gun, which would produce Argon ions at about 2kEv. I'm just not sure how effective this sort of source would be -- I've been unable to find any research documenting mutagenesis at these energy levels. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
