A high stability accelerator for ion beam diagnostics in a tokamak

  • 1. National Electrostatics Corp., Middleton, WI (USA)

Description

A 2 MV single ended accelerator has been developed for probing a Tokamak plasma with a heavy ion beam. This high current Pelletron is designed to deliver up to 200μA of 2 MeV TI+ for plasma diagnostics. Stringent energy stability requirements have led to the development of an improved accelerator voltage control system incorporating a capacitive tank liner. The special design features and performance of this system will be discussed. (orig.)
