An RF driven H[sup [minus]] source and a low energy beam injection system for RFQ operation

Conference ·
OSTI ID:6892014

An RF driven H[sup [minus]] source has been developed at LBL for use in the Superconducting Super Collider (SSC). To date, an H[sup [minus]] current of [approx]40 mA can be obtained from a 5.6-cm-diam aperture with the source operated at a pressure of about 12 m Torr and 50 kW of RF power. In order to match the accelerated H[sup [minus]] beam into the SSC RFQ, a low-energy H[sup [minus]] injection system has been designed. This injector produces an outgoing H[sup [minus]] beam free of electron contamination, with small radius, large convergent angle and small projectional emittance.
