Indirectly heated cathodes and duoplasmatron type electron feeds for positive ion sources
Abstract
Development of indirectly heated cathodes and duoplasmatron type electron feed assemblies is being pursued for use on positive ion sources of neutral beam systems. The cathodes utilize La/sub 2/O/sub 3/ doped molybdenum emission surfaces which supply ionizing electrons for a large rectangular (28 cm. x 60 cm.) magnetic multi-cusp confinement chamber. Single and double electron feed assemblies with different electrode geometries were tested at discharge currents of greater than or equal to 1000 A and pulse lengths of approx. 35 sec. Details of construction and performance results such as plasma uniformity are discussed.
