Ion source for ion beam fusion

Creators

Description

The selection of the best ion source for ion beam fusion must be based on the ability of the source to provide the desired beam current, emittance, and long-life operation on heavy ions. The performance of an ion source is basically determined by its ionization mechanism and the configuration of the extraction electrode. The ion source currently being investigated for ion beam fusion uses a low-voltage Penning ion discharge and has a single-aperture Pierce extraction electrode configuration. This choice was based on experience with it, which includes demonstration of many of the desired performance features
