Emittance measurements on a volume H sup minus ion source

Conference ·
OSTI ID:6908332
A current of 30 mA has been extracted from a volume production H{sup {minus}} source having a toroidal discharge chamber and rotational symmetry. This is a current density of 30 mA/cm{sup 2}. The emittance measurement gave a normalized, 90% value of {epsilon} {sub N}(90%) = 0.32 {pi} mm-mrad for a 13 mA beam. The ion temperature is estimated to be 0.57 eV for this case. For 25.5 mA, {epsilon} {sub N}(90%) = 1.11 {pi} mm-mrad was measured, but the true value is most likely smaller due to a limitation in the emittance resolution. 6 refs., 4 figs., 1 tab.
