| Summary: | The operating characteristics of the ion source and of an initial model transport system developed by the Heavy Ion Fusion group at BNL will be presented. The purpose of the assembly was to transport a 30 mA beam of heavy ions a few feet inside a small, inexpensive Cockcroft-Walton at the source voltage (less than or equal to 50 kV) to a single 3'' diameter high voltage gap (less than or equal to 500 kV). This isolation of the gap from the source prevented high voltage breakdown due to gas loading from the source. After the gap, the beam was to be matched into a 2 MHz electrostatic quadrupole linac which would in turn be the first stage of a heavy ion fusion accelerator. |
