Tests of high-power direct conversion on beams and plasma
Description
Two types of direct converters at up to 100 keV were tested. A beam direct converter was tested on a reduced area TFTR source at the Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory (LBL). After surface conditioning and outgassing, the efficiency was over 60% at the beginning of a pulse. During a pulse, the efficiency decreased as the gas density built up. A single-stage plasma direct converter with immersed grids is being tested on a steady-state ion beam with 6 kW of beam power. The power density at the grids can be varied by adjusting the beam focus. Recovery efficiencies over 70% are measured and we are now studying various loss mechanisms
