    Notes: At Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory different antenna protection schemes have been investigated for the radio frequency-driven multicusp ion source. It was found that the antenna lifetime can be greatly enhanced by an additional shielding, which consists of porcelain, quartz or boron nitride. Different antenna configurations and their influence on the plasma generation will be discussed. Antenna life time greater than 500 hours continuous wave operation has been demonstrated in hydrogen plasma using a novel quartz antenna design.

    Notes: A new ion extraction system has been developed for use with the light ion source apparatus (LIISA) of the Accelerator Laboratory. The aim of the new extraction system is to have a more intense and better quality beam. For simulation of the beam behavior at the extraction region a computer code IGUNe has been used. The simulation shows that a simple triode extraction would be efficient enough to extract total beam intensities of around 5 mA at an extraction voltage of 10–15 kV. At the same time, with the carefully designed plasma electrode, the emittance could be decreased significantly from the original design. The new extraction was installed in May 1997 and the results have been encouraging. The transport efficiency of the extracted beam to the first Faraday cup (at a distance of 1.2 m) was 100% and the maximum proton current obtained was 2.0 mA. The maximum proton current in the cyclotron inflector is 1.0 mA, which is eight times larger than the previous record. © 1998 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: The H− ion source for the Spallation Neutron Source (SNS) is a cesiated, radio-frequency driven multicusp volume source which operates at a duty cycle of 6%. In pulsed rf driven plasma sources, ignition of the plasma affects the stability of source operation and the antenna lifetime. We report on ignition schemes, based on secondary electron generation by UV light, a hot filament, a low power rf plasma (cw, 13.56 MHz), as well as source operation solely with the high power 2 MHz rf. We find that the dual frequency, single antenna scheme is most attractive for the operating conditions of the SNS H− source. © 2002 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: The front-end systems (FES) of the spallation neutron source project are being built by Berkeley Lab and will deliver a pulsed 40 mA H− ion beam at 2.5 MeV energy to the subsequent drift-tube linac. The FES accelerator components comprise a rf driven, volume-production, cesium-enhanced, multicusp ion source; an electrostatic low-energy beam transport (LEBT) that includes provisions for transverse focusing, steering, and beam chopping; a radio-frequency quadrupole accelerator; and a medium-energy beam transport line. The challenges for ion source and LEBT design are the generation of a plasma suitable for creating the required high H− ion density, lifetime of the rf antenna at 6% duty factor, removal of the parasitic electron population from the extracted negative ions, and emittance conservation. The article discusses these issues in detail and highlights key experimental results obtained so far. © 2002 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: rf driven multicusp ion sources have been successfully used in various different applications. Lately the Plasma and Ion Source Technology Group at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory has been developing a rf ion source for neutron production and a high current density cw-operated ion source for SIMOX (Separation by Implantation of Oxygen)-application. The group has developed a small ion source, which consists of a quartz plasma chamber, an external rf-antenna, an extraction electrode, and a target assembly, all in a tube that is approximately 25 cm in length and 5 cm in diameter. Another neutron generator currently under development is a multiaperture, high power generator. The neutron generator currently operates at 1% duty cycle, 80 kV, and 150 mA of deuterium beam. The neutron yield measured from the generator is 1.6×107 n/s. For oxygen implantation, the group has been developing a source which could provide a high percentage of O+ at high current density using cw operation. A dual-antenna has been developed for the source to ensure reliable long life operation. The development of these sources will be discussed in this article. © 2002 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: Negative light ion beams have been used widely in many applications over the past decades. One of the most popular methods of producing H− and D− beams is the so-called volume production, in which a plasma is contained in a multicusp magnetic field. The beam is extracted using an electric field applied in the extraction gap. Accompanying the negative ions is up to 100 times greater number of electrons, which have to be removed from the beam. This is usually done by placing a transverse magnetic field in the extraction region. With this method the electrons can be quite effectively removed from the beam. The problem is that we dump a high intensity, high energy electron beam in the extraction electrode and dissipate a lot of power in the process. The negative ion beam is also deflected in this strong magnetic field which has to be corrected either by tilting the source compared to the extraction or by adding an opposite transverse magnetic field. In the latter method the beam is laterally displaced from the original axis. In the Plasma and Ion Source Technology Group at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, we are developing a multi-aperture extraction in which the electrons are removed from the beam before they are accelerated to high energy with the use of a honeycomb-structured electron filter and a weak magnetic field. This way the power dissipated by the electrons and the ion beam deflection are minimized. The initial results of these experiments will be described in this presentation. © 2002 American Institute of Physics.
