Testing of developmental neutral beam sources for MFTF
Description:
The design of a four-grid, spherically-focused, 10-by-46-cm area accelerator and ion source for the Mirror Fusion Test Facility (MFTF) has been previously described. This source was designed to operate at 80 kV-80 A for 0.5 s, and along with a matching, three-grid 20-kV-100-A-10-ms accelerator, has been built and tested. The 80-kV source has operated beyond design specifications to 90 kV-90 A for 12 ms. Pulse duration was limited by a capacitor bank accelerator power supply. Tests to 0.5 s on t…
