Small radio frequency driven multicusp ion source for positive hydrogen ion beam production
- 1. Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory, University of California, Berkeley, California 94720 (United States)
Description
A compact, 2.5 cm diam rf-driven multicusp ion source has been developed and tested for H+ ion production in pulse mode operation. The source is optimized for atomic hydrogen ion species and extractable current. It is found that hydrogen ion beam current densities in excess of 650 mA/cm2 can be achieved with H+ species above 80%. The geometry and position of the porcelain-coated copper antenna were found to be of great significance in relation to the efficiency of the ion source
