Title: Mechanical design and fabrication of the transverse field focusing (TFF) matching/pumping section for negative ion based neutral beam systems

Abstract

A negative ion based neutral beam injection system is under development as proof-of-principle demonstration of a radiation-hardened beamline. The beamline consists of a source, a pre-accelerator, a matching/pumping (M/P) section, and an accelerator. The function of the M/P section is to provide vacuum pumping, to remove electrons, to provide beam edge confinement, to compress the beam thickness to match the requirements of the accelerator, and to transport the 1A, 80 keV, 25 cm high H ribbon beam to the accelerator entrance. Details of the design and fabrication of the M/P section are presented. The M/P section has eight separate, high voltage electrodes forming an ''S'' shaped beam path. Electrons are removed by the electron trap in this path. Beam edge confinement and thickness compression is accomplished by the curvature and face contour of the electrodes. Design heat loads are described. Electrode fabrication is discussed, and the cryopumps used are described. (LEW)
