Title: Performance of the BNL Mk-V steady state magnetron H source

Abstract

The MkV magnetron source has been designed with the goal to achieve an H-or D-yield of 1-2 A in pulses longer than 5 a up to a steady state mode of operation. All electrodes are water cooled and this allows power densities up to 200 W/cm/sup 2/. The source has been operated in hydrogen and hydrogen-cesium modes. Various methods of cesium vapor injection have been tried and their reliability compared. The extractor grid in its first version has been made out of solid molybdenum, without cooling, and operated in a pulsed mode (pulse length more than 1 s).
