Mark V magnetron with hollow cathode discharge plasma injection

Conference ·
OSTI ID:6923516
An experiment designed to test the feasibility of negative ion sources based on plasma injection from a hollow-cathode discharge is described. From the plasma column up to 2.3 Amp/cm/sup 2/ of positive ion current were drawn onto a cesiated Mo converter. Strong evidence was found for an H/sup -/ production at a conversion efficiency of 25%. Based on these encouraging results a 2 Amp/H/sup -/ source has been designed.
