The TRIUMF optically-pumped polarized H{sup {minus}} ion source

Conference ·
OSTI ID:132764

The TRIUMF dc optically-pumped polarized H{sup {minus}} ion source (OPPIS) produces 200 {micro}A dc H{sup {minus}} current at 85% polarization within a normalized emittance (90%) of 0.8 {pi} mm mrad, for operations at the TRIUMF cyclotron. As a result of development of the ECR primary proton source, 1.6 mA dc polarized H{sup {minus}} current is produced within a normalized emittance of 2 {pi} mm mrad, suitable for high energy accelerators. The OPPIS has also been developed for use in a parity non-conservation experiment which has very severe limits on permissible helicity-correlated changes in beam current and energy.
