Lithium plasma generation for PBFA-II ion diodes

Description

The selection of lithium as the ion for PBFA II has made the development of a suitable lithium ion source one of the highest priority areas in the light-ion fusion program. Several schemes for producing lithium ions in a suitable diode configuration are being actively pursued. One attractive option is to use the LIBORS laser ionization technique on a thin layer of lithium vapor near the anode. A space- and time-dependent model of this process has been developed to guide system design studies, and experiments are being performed to validate model predictions. 4 refs., 1 fig
