Heating neutral beams for ITER: negative ion sources to tune fusion plasmas

Heating neutral beams for ITER: negative ion sources to tune fusion plasmas

Neutral beam injection (NBI) based on a negative ion source is one of the basic heating and current drive systems designed for ITER required to reach its goals of the operation with high fusion power, P _fus  ∼ 500 MW with fusion gain, Q  = 10 for 400 s in a baseline scenario, and P _fus  > 250 M...
