OSTI ID:6257230
A new volume H/sup /minus// ion source has been designed with the objective to reach a current of 50 mA in 1 ms pulses, to be eventually used on the new RFQ preinjector at BNL's Alternating Gradient Synchrotron. Its main feature is a full rotational symmetry, with a toroidal discharge chamber separated from the central extraction region by a conically shaped dipole field. Preliminary studies consisted of measurements of the H/sup /minus// yield and the accompanying electron component as a function of the discharge current, discharge voltage, pressure, and extraction voltage for several geometries of the conical field; effects of the filament heating current were also studied, both for dc and ac cases. So far, it was possible to extract an H/sup /minus// current of 30 mA through an aperture of 1 cm/sup 2/, with an electron component of about 750 mA. 4 refs., 6 figs.
