WEPOTK017 | An Efficient H-/ D- Extraction in Neutral Beam Injection (NBI) Ion Sources | 2078 |
|
||
Funding: INFN, DTT The negative ion source development has reached performances very close to those required by the ITER project; see for example the test facility ELISE results*. A main residual problem seems to be the great amount of co-extracted electrons in the top part of the source. The introduction of a magnetic filter to remove the electrons from the extraction zone of the source causes ExB particle drifts (or shifts) which move both ions and electrons towards the top (or bottom depending on the B direction); in the top part the electron concentration and extracted current increase and that limits the extracted ion amount. In this contribution, as a possible solution, the application of a Planar Ion Funnel (PIF) extraction electric field configuration** on the source exit is proposed. The electric field line shape of PIF configuration, not only should break the perpendicularity between the magnetic filter B and the extraction electric field E in such a way to prevents the ExB particle drifts, but also should give a more efficient field shape for the H-/D- extraction. Preliminary simulations of D- and e- trajectories are presented to confirm the efficiency of the PIF system. * B. Heinemann et al., Fusion Engineering and design (2021). ** A. Chaudhary et al., Rev.

THPOTK003 | Optimization of Mass Resolution Parameters Combined with Ion Cooler Performance | 2770 |
|
||
High mass resolution spectrometers (HRMS) for separation of exotic ion species in nuclear physics experiment request a low emittance and small energy spread (with D E the peak-to-peak value, and sE the rms value) of the input beam, so that ion cooler devices, as a Radio Frequency Quadrupole Coolers (RFQC), are typically envisioned. The SPES (Selective Production of Exotic Species) project at LNL requests M/(D M) about 20000, rms normalized emittance in the order of 2 nm, and for 160 keV ions, spread sE about 1 eV. Typical limits of RFQC[*] and HRMS[**] performances are discussed, and relevant formulas are implemented in easy reference tools. The necessary collisional data are reviewed, in particular for Cs+ against He gas, whose pressure ranges from 2 to 9 Pa; status of Milan test bench is briefly updated. Practical consideration on gas pumping, voltage stability and magnet design are also included.
