Notes:
A high brightness negative hydrogen ion source has been developed for a high intensity proton linear accelerator. The ion source is volume production type. Negative ions are generated in a magnetically filtered multicusp plasma generator. The negative ion production is enhanced by seeding a small amount of cesium into the plasma generator. A negative hydrogen ion beam of 36 mA was extracted from a single aperture at an acceleration voltage of 50 kV. To obtain a higher ion beam current, the focusing of beamlets extracted from the multiaperture grid has been demonstrated with an aperture displacement technique. © 1996 American Institute of Physics.
