Abstract

A high brilliance mass selected (Z-selected) negative ion and neutral beam source having good energy resolution. The source is based upon laser resonance ionization of atoms or molecules in a small gaseous medium followed by charge exchange through an alkali oven. The source is capable of producing microampere beams of an extremely wide variety of negative ions, and milliampere beams when operated in the pulsed mode.

Large area negative ion source for high voltage neutral beams

Conference Poulsen, P; Hooper, Jr, E

A source of negative deuterium ions in the multi-ampere range is described that is readily extrapolated to reactor size, 10 amp or more of neutral beam, that is of interest in future experiments and reactors. The negative ion source is based upon the double charge exchange process. A beam of positive ions is created and accelerated to an energy at which the attachment process D + M ..-->.. D/sup -/ + M/sup +/ proceeds efficiently. The positive ions are atomically neutralized either in D/sub 2/ or in the charge exchange medium M. Atomic species make a second charge exchange collisionmore »« less

Status of the AGS polarized negative ion source

Conference Alessi, J; Kponou, A; Raymond, R; ... - IEEE Trans. Nucl. Sci.; (United States)

Development of an intense polarized H- source for the AGS continues at Brookhaven National Laboratory. Initial tests with about one milliampere, 40 keV pulsed neutral cesium beam, colliding with more than two milliampere polarized hydrogen atoms, produced about one-half microampere polarized negative ions, extracted at 20 keV. A new pulsed cesium source with an anticipated output of 5-15 mA and an improved neutralizer are under construction.
