Negative Hydrogen Ion Sources for Fusion: From Plasma Generation to Beam Properties

Negative Hydrogen Ion Sources for Fusion: From Plasma Generation to Beam Properties

The neutral beam injection systems for the international fusion experiment ITER used for heating, current drive, and diagnostic purposes are based on RF-driven negative hydrogen ion sources with a source area of roughly 0.9 m × 1.9 m. The sources operate at 0.3 Pa in hydrogen and in deuterium using...
