High stability microwave discharge ion sources
Abstract A new plasma heating mechanism for Microwave Discharge Ion Sources (MDIS) was discovered. Unprecedented beam stability was observed during the commissioning of the Proton Source for the European Spallation Source (PS-ESS) where several thousand source configurations were tested using a cust...
