    Notes: Kapton film is used to image K+ ion beams in the 0.4 to 2 MeV energy range. Dose response is shown to be linear and to follow a simple model for a range of exposures. The measured profiles agree with profiles obtained with a slit scanner. Kapton has excellent spatial resolution, dynamic range, and discrimination against stray low energy and low mass particles. © 2002 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: Heavy ion fusion (HIF) induction accelerators require ion sources that can deliver intense heavy ion beams with low emittance. The typical pulse length is 20 μs with a rise time less than 1 μs and a repetition rate of 10 Hz. So far, the surface ionization sources have been used in most HIF induction linac designs. However, there are other ions of interest to HIF (e.g., Hg, Xe, Rb, Ar, and Ne) which cannot be produced by the surface ionization sources, but rather by volume ion sources. In this paper, we describe an experiment that uses a multicusp source with a magnetic filter to produce beam pulses that have a rise time in the order of 1 μs. By applying a positive biasing pulse on the plasma electrode with respect to the source body, the positive plasma ions can be temporarily repelled from the neighborhood of the extraction aperture, leading to a suppression of the ion beam. As the bias is removed, positive ions flow to the extraction region, enabling a fast-rising beam pulse. The beam current pulses show that there are two distinct groups of ions. An initial fast current rise time (〈2 μs) corresponding to ions originating from within the magnetic filter region followed by a second group of ions with a longer rise time (10–20 μs) originating from the plasma bulk region. Proper positioning of the filament cathode and the magnetic filter field relative to the extraction aperture was found to be critical. © 1998 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: The high power ion beams used in the next generation thermonuclear fusion reactors require high current negative ion beams accelerated to high energy, with high efficiency. One way to meet these requirements is to merge multiple low current density H− beamlets into a single high current beam. The feasibility of a high current merging preaccelerator was demonstrated in this experiment by merging 19 beamlets of H− ions distributed over a circular area 80 mm in diameter from a Japan Atomic Energy Research Institute negative ion source. H− ions were extracted at a current density exceeding 10 mA/cm2 at the ion source which operates at 0.13 Pa (1 mTorr), with a low arc power density (70 V×250 A). Spherically curved grids (with built-in magnetic electron suppression) were used in the preaccelerator to focus the extracted beamlets into a single 104 mA, 100 keV beam. The merged beam has a diameter of 23 mm and a converging angle of ±30 mrad at the beam envelope. The rms emittance of the 104 mA merging beam was 1.00 π mrad cm, which is a condition acceptable to the electrostatic quadropole accelerator for further acceleration. © 1995 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: Neutral beams for the next generation tokamaks will be based on multiampere negative ion beams with a beam energy of about 1.0 MeV and pulse lengths of a thousand seconds. High intensity dc beams at these levels of beam energy will require extensive development in electrostatic accelerators. At Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory, a two-module electrostatic quadrupole (ESQ) accelerator was built to accelerate ions to 200 keV. In this experiment, up to 100 mA of H− beam current was obtained from a Japan Atomic Energy Research Institute cesiated volume source using a multiaperture preaccelerator which merged 19 beamlets into a single circular beam at the entrance to the ESQ accelerator. The H− beam was accelerated by the ESQ to accelerate 200 keV without any significant beam loss or emittance growth. © 1995 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: Conceptual heavy ion driven inertial fusion (HIF) drivers typically have an array of up to 100 parallel beams each supplying a beam current of (approximate)0.25 A. According to space-charge limitations in beam extraction and in the low energy beam transport section, there are two options in building injectors for HIF drivers. The traditional way is to use low current density, large aperture, contact ionization sources. The major disadvantage of this approach is the very large size of the injector and matching section. The other option is to use high current density, multiple beamlet ion sources. From various scaling rules, it is found that the multiple beamlet approach is the more attractive one because it can be smaller, and more efficient, although the requirements on the ion source are more demanding. © 2000 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: Heavy ion fusion (HIF) drivers require large currents and bright beams. In this article we review the two different approaches for building HIF injectors and the corresponding ion source requirements. The traditional approach uses large aperture, low current density ion sources, resulting in a very large injector system. A more recent approach merges high current density mini-beamlets into a large current beam and significantly reduces the injector size. Experiments are being prepared to demonstrate this approach. © 2002 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: Results are presented on the maximum current density obtained in pulsed (2 μs) contact ionization sources that utilize potassium and cesium atoms on porous tungsten substrates. Maximum values of 89 and 48 mA/cm2 for K+ and Cs+, respectively, were obtained in space charge limited mode for the source geometry used. Similar results were observed for potassium aluminosilicate (K20⋅Al2O3⋅4SiO2) sources. Neutral emission rates were measured in the temperature range of interest to heavy ion fusion (1000–1150 °C). Evidence is presented regarding a diffusion-limited flow of alkali atoms towards the emitting surface, which would be a determining factor in the source lifetime. © 2002 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: Heavy ion beam inertial fusion driver concepts depend on the availability and performance of high-brightness high-current ion sources. Surface ionization sources have relatively low current density but high brightness because of the low temperature of the emitted ions. We have measured the beam profiles at the exit of the injector diode, and compared the measured profiles with EGUN and WARP-3D predictions. Spherical aberrations are significant in this large aspect ratio diode. We discuss the measured and calculated beam size and beam profiles, the effect of aberrations, quality of vacuum, and secondary electron distributions on the beam profile. © 2002 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: Based on recent experimental results made on the large and small multicusp volume H− sources, a new multicusp source has been designed to generate high-brightness H− or D− beams for high duty factor or dc operations. Cesium will be introduced into the source plasma to enhance the H− output current. Arrangements for reducing the electrons as well as capturing them in the preaccelerator electrodes will be incorporated into the new source geometry.

    Notes: A JAERI (Japan Atomic Energy Research Institute)negative ion source was tested at LBL (Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory) as part of the U.S.–Japan Fusion Cooperation Program. By varying the strength of the magnetic filter from 450 to 930 G cm, we compared production, transport, and extraction of the negative ions. The maximum current densities, which were obtained at the corresponding optimum filter strength for each gas species, were 10.4 mA/cm2 for H− and 8.4 mA/cm2 for D− at arc discharges of 40 kW. The ratio of the ion current densities (JD−/JH−) is about 0.8, which is higher than 1/(2)1/2 . The electron to negative ion ratio was 13 for hydrogen and 38 for deuterium at the corresponding optimum filter strength. The higher ratio in deuterium is probably due to higher space potential of deuterium plasma by a few volts.
