Description

A hollow cathode discharge fed plasma neutralizer has been built and was used to neutralize 3-MeV Li-, C-, and Si- ions. Initial results indicate that the performance of an unoptimized plasma neutralizer is better than gas stripping. Since hollow cathodes produce plasma targets with high efficiency, this type of plasma neutralizer can improve the overall efficiency of a neutral beam line
