The progress toward realizing a high-performance cesium (Cs)-free negative-ion source based on volume production in a magnetized sheet plasma device (TPDsheet-U) is reported. In the experiments, H− ions were successfully extracted from sheet plasma using single-/multi-aperture grids. The experimental results of the single-aperture grid show that the negative hydrogen ion current density (J C (H−)) performance of Cs-free H− ion beams in TPDsheet-U is about one-fourth that of Cs-containing H− ion sources in the ITER negative-ion neutral-beam injector (NNBI).(i) The J C (H−) was∼ 7.5 mA cm− 2 at an extraction voltage of 10 kV, a discharge current I d of 90 A, and a gas pressure of 0.3 Pa.(ii) The electron current J EG (e) with this soft magnetic filter (SMF) was only∼ 10% of the electron current without the SMF; The J EG (e)/J C (H−) ratio was reduced below 0.4 at y< 18 mm for a single-aperture grid with the SMF at I d= 50 A and external magnetic field strength of 38 mT.
