Development of a multicusp H− ion source for accelerator applications

Abstract
The development of a multicusp surface‐production H− ion source (Berkeley concept) designed specifically for accelerator use is described. The goal of this development effort has been to provide a suitable H− ion source for the Proton Storage Ring now being constructed at LAMPF. The ion source that has been developed is now capable of long‐term operation at 20 mA of H− current at 10% duty factor and with normalized beam emittance of 0.13 cm‐mrad (95% beam fraction). The development program will be described with particular emphasis on beam emittance measurements.
