Influence of a biased beam dump on H sup minus beam neutralization measurements with a four-grid energy analyzer
Abstract
A four-grid energy analyzer diagnostic has been developed for the study of H{sup {minus}} beam space-charge compensation, and first measurements have been reported previously. Biased beam-dump measurements were undertaken to clarify the origin of electron currents measured in the FGA because they far exceeded predictions based on H{sup {minus}}-beam ionization and stripping processes. This experiment partially explains the anomalously large radial electron current. The FGA observations for negative beam-dump bias suggest electron ionization of the background gas is an additional mechanism for producing positive ions.
