Article Synopsis
- A new cold cathode arc discharge filament-based H ion source (HNIS) has been created with a low-power igniter that extends the filament's lifespan.
- The prototype can produce H ion beam currents up to 12 mA at 50 keV in pulse mode, with a peak arc power of 27 kW using a triode extraction system.
- The article discusses the initial testing of the HNIS and the magnetic field setup designed to differentiate co-extracted electrons from the H ion beam, supported by experiments and 3-D simulations.
