The properties of an intense 50-kV neutral-beam system are discussed. The salient features of this system are a transmission efficiency of 76% of the extracted ion beam through a 30 x 34 cm aperture that is 4.5 m from the ion source, a transmitted neutral power of 1.8 MW H/sup 0/ (2.0 MW D/sup 0/) at extraction parameters of 50 kV/100 A/0.1 s (53 kV/85 A/0.1 s), a proton fraction of approx.80%, an ion-source arc efficiency of approx.1.3 A/kW, an ion-source gas efficiency of approx.35%, and a reliability of > or approx. =90%.
