为了获得更高的中子产额和提高惯性静电约束(IEC)源的中子生产效率，下一步需要使用外部离子源进行操作，以便根据源压力单独控制反应室压力。本文介绍了UIUC使用独特的外部离子源ILLIBS(伊利诺伊州离子束源)进行离子发射研究的最新进展。当充氢时，IEC在稳定状态下提供约108个2.5 MeV D-D聚变中子/秒。还讨论了为此目的设计的射频(RF)离子枪的设计和操作。
Abstract The next step needed to achieve higher neutron yields and improved neutron production efficiency with Inertial Electrostatic Confinement (IEC) sources requires operation with an external ion source so that the reaction chamber pressure is controlled separately for the source pressure. This paper presents recent progress in IEC research at the UIUC using a unique external ion source ILLIBS (Illinois Ion Beam Source). When filled with deuterium, the IEC provides ~108 2.5-MeV D-D fusion neutrons/sec at steady-state. The design and operation of a radiofrequency (RF) ion gun designed for this purpose is also discussed.
