Development Of A Negative Ion-Based Neutral Beam Injector In Novosibirsk

摘要

The negative-ion based injector of a hydrogen neutral beam with the energy up to 1 MeV is being developed in the Budker Institute. In order to provide high energy efficiency, the injector will employ a plasma (or photon) beam neutralization target and electrostatic beam energy recuperators. The design of the injector components is in progress. The experimental test facility for acceleration of a 1.5-Ampere hydrogen negative ion beam to the energy of 120 keV is under construction.
