Development of an advanced ‘‘volume’’ H− source for neutral beam application

Abstract
Based on recent experimental results made on the large and small multicusp volume H sources, a new multicusp source has been designed to generate high‐brightness H or D beams for high duty factor or dc operations. Cesium will be introduced into the source plasma to enhance the H output current. Arrangements for reducing the electrons as well as capturing them in the preaccelerator electrodes will be incorporated into the new source geometry.
