Title: Production of a high brightness H{sup -} beam by charge exchange of a hydrogen atom beam in a sodium jet

Abstract

Production of H{sup -} beams for applications in accelerators via charge exchange of a high brightness hydrogen neutral beam in a sodium jet cell is experimentally studied in a joint experiment by the Brookhaven National Laboratory (BNL) and the Budker Institute of Nuclear Physcis (BINP). In the experiment, a hydrogen atomic beam with an energy 3-6 keV, an equivalent current up to 5 A and a pulse duration 200 microseconds is used. Initial results demonstrate that an H{sup -} beam with a current 36 mA, an energy 5 keV and {approx}0.15 cm{center_dot}mrad normalized emittance was obtained. The recirculating sodium jet target with an entrance aperture 2 cm, which was developed for the BNL optically pumped polarized ion source, is used in the experiment. To increase the H{sup -} beam current, geometric focusing of the hydrogen neutral beam will be used in the future experiments. In addition, the effects of H{sup -} beam space-charge and sodium-jet stability will be studied to determine the basic limitations of this approach. The atomic beam is produced by charge exchange of a proton beam in a pulsed hydrogen target. The proton beam is formed by an ion source with a four-electrode multiaperture ion-optical system withmore » small-size apertures. The plasma emission surface is formed by the plasma expansion from an arc plasma generator. The transverse ion temperature at the emission surface is 0.2 eV.« less
