Abstract

A negative ion-based neutral beam injector comprising a negative ion source, accelerator and neutralizer to produce about a 5 MW neutral beam with energy of about 0.50 to 1.0 MeV. The ions produced by the ion source are pre-accelerated before injection into a high energy accelerator by an electrostatic multi-aperture grid pre-accelerator, which is used to extract ion beams from the plasma and accelerate to some fraction of the required beam energy. The beam from the ion source passes through a pair of deflecting magnets, which enable the beam to shift off axis before entering the high energy accelerator. After acceleration to full energy, the beam enters the neutralizer where it is partially converted into a neutral beam. The remaining ion species are separated by a magnet and directed into electrostatic energy converters. The neutral beam passes through a gate valve and enters a plasma chamber.

Description

technical field [0001] The subject matter disclosed herein relates generally to neutral beam injectors, and more particularly to negative ion-based neutral beam injectors. Background technique [0002] Until now, neutral beams used in magnetic melting research, materials processing, etching, sterilization, and other applications were formed from positive ions. The positive hydrogen isotope ions are extracted and accelerated from a gas discharge plasma by an electrostatic field. After the accelerator's ground plane, they enter the gas chamber, where they undergo both charge exchange reactions to gain electrons and impact ionization reactions to lose electrons again. Since the charge exchange profile decreases with increasing energy faster than ionization, the equilibrium neutral fraction in thick gas cells begins to drop rapidly at energies greater than 60 keV for hydrogen particles. For hydrogen isotope neutral beam applications requiring slightly higher energies than this...
