Abstract

It is an object of this invention provide a negative ion source which efficiently provides a large flux of negatively ionized particles. This invention provides a volume source of negative ions which has a current density sufficient for magnetic fusion applications and has electrons suppressed from the output. It is still another object of this invention to provide a volume source of negative ions which can be electrostatically accelerated to high energies and subsequently neutralized to form a high energy neutral beam for use with a magnetically confined plasma.

Three chamber negative ion source

Patent Leung, K.N.; Ehlers, K.W.; Hiskes, J.R.R.

A negative ion vessel is divided into an excitation chamber, a negative ionization chamber and an extraction chamber by two magnetic filters. Input means introduces neutral molecules into a first chamber where a first electron discharge means vibrationally excites the molecules which migrate to a second chamber. In the second chamber a second electron discharge means ionizes the molecules, producing negative ions which are extracted into or by a third chamber. A first magnetic filter prevents high energy electrons from entering the negative ionization chamber from the excitation chamber. A second magnetic filter prevents high energy electrons from entering themore »« less

Concept for a volume-type tandem three-chamber negative hydrogen ion source

Technical Report Leung, K.N.; Ehlers, K.W.; Hiskes, J.R.

Two recent development in the volume generation and the volume extraction of negative ions are discussed that lead in a natural way to a new concept for direct-extraction volume-type negative-hydrogen ion source.
Negative ion source

Patent Delmore, J.E.

An apparatus is described for producing negative ions of a gaseous sample comprising: an electron emitter; a draw-out electrode lying in a first plane and having an axis extending perpendicular to the first plane; a chamber having an ionization region and containing the electron emitter in the ionization region and containing the draw-out electrode removed from the ionization region; means for providing at least between the electron emitter and the draw-out electrode, an electric field aligned with the axis of the draw-out electrode and oriented to attract negative particles toward the draw-out electrode; means for providing in the ionization regionmore »« less
Negative ion source with low temperature transverse divergence optical system

Patent Whealton, J.H.; Stirling, W.L.

This patent describes an ion source for generating a beam of negative ions from a selected molecular species wherein the selected molecular species is introduced in a gaseous state into a chamber formed by an electrically conductive housing and including a converter plate having an ion converter surface disposed within the chamber, an ion extraction electrode forming a part of the housing disposed in front of the converter plate and having an exit slit therein through which the beam of negative ions produced in the chamber exit the chamber, an acceleration electrode disposed parallel to and spaced from the extractionmore »« less
