Performance analysis of in-line direct converters for neutral beam sources

Description

The energetics of neutral beam formation from positive ion sources with beam direct conversion is presented. Two specific converters, the immersed grid and space charge controlled configurations, are described and their performance analyzed. The space charge controlled direct converter appears to be capable of high efficiency ion energy recovery at current density levels of interest in CTR applications. Experimental verification of the performance of this converter is underway
