Particle Sources
D. C. Faircloth
This paper outlines the many ways that the initial beam can be made for particle accelerators. Brief introductions to plasma physics and beam formation are given. Thermionic and ph…
Experimental evidence on photo-assisted O ion production from AlO cathode in cesium sputter negative ion source
O. Tarvainen, R. Kronholm, M. Laitinen +8
The production of negative ions in cesium sputter ion sources is generally considered to be a pure surface process. It has been recently proposed that ion pair production could exp…
Technological Aspects: High Voltage
D. C. Faircloth
This paper covers the theory and technological aspects of high-voltage design for ion sources. Electric field strengths are critical to understanding high-voltage breakdown. The eq…
Negative Ion Sources: Magnetron and Penning
D. C. Faircloth
The history of the magnetron and Penning electrode geometry is briefly outlined. Plasma generation by electrical discharge-driven electron impact ionization is described and the ba…
Ion sources for high-power hadron accelerators
Dan Faircloth
Ion sources are a critical component of all particle accelerators. They create the initial beam that is accelerated by the rest of the machine. This paper will introduce the many m…
Lifetime of the Highly Efficient H- Ion Sources
D. S. Bollinger, V. G. Dudnikov, D. C. Faircloth +1
Factors limiting the operating lifetime of Compact Surface Plasma Sources (CSPS) are analyzed and possible treatments for lifetime enhancement are considered. Noiseless discharges…
