Technology for multi-MeV light atom heating beams

  • 1. Princeton Univ., NJ (USA). Plasma Physics Lab.

Description

The technological requirements for an alternative method of heating plasmas with neutral beams are discussed. This would involve producing beams of light neutral atoms (such as Li0, C0, O0, or Si0) at energies of 1-2 MeV/amu and injecting them into the plasma. It is found that the heating profiles should be strongly peaked in the central plasma. The light atom beams would be formed from negative ions which have been RF accelerated and then neutralized. The technological basis for developing the systems to produce such beams is investigated. (author)
