INVESTIGATION OF QUASI-STATIONARY SURFACE-PLASMA SOURCES WITH INTENSIVE CATHODE AND ANODE GENERATION OF H*99- IONS

The work covers the quasi-stationary sources of H*99- ions and also the generation mechanism of H*99- ions. The aim is to make the heavy-current quasi-stationary surface-plasma sources of H*99- ions; to investigate the geometric focusing of negative ions in the honeycomb source. The mechanisms of forming beams of the H*99- ions in the sources with geometric focusing has been studied firstly by a computer simulation that gave a possibility to explain a number of the regularities in forming energital spectra of the ionic beams. The multiaperture quasi-stationary honeycomb sources of hydrogen ions and also the quasi-stationary Penning sources with hollow cathodes being perspective for the programs on the controlled thermonuclear fusion have been developedAvailable from VNTIC / VNTIC - Scientific & Technical Information Centre of RussiaSIGLERURussian Federatio
