The ISIS H minus ion source is currently being developed on the Ion Source Development Rig (ISDR) at Rutherford Appleton Laboratory (RAL) in order to meet the requirements for the next generation of high power proton drivers. One key development goal is to increase the pulse width and duty cycle, but this has a significant effect on ion source temperatures if no other changes are made. A Finite Element Analysis (FEA) model has been produced to understand the steady state and dynamic thermal behavior of the source, and to investigate the design changes necessary to offset the extra heating.

Recent Finite Element Analysis (FEA) electromagnetic modelling of the extraction region of the ISIS H minus source has suggested that the present set up of extraction electrode and 90 degree sector magnet is sub-optimal, with the result that the beam profile is asymmetric, the beam is strongly divergent in the horizontal plane and there is severe aberration in the focusing in the vertical plane. The FEA model of the beam optics has demonstrated that relatively simple changes to the system should produce a dramatic improvement in performance. These changes have been incorporated on the Ion Source Development Rig (ISDR) at Rutherford Appleton Laboratory (RAL), and their effects on the H minus beam are presented here.

In the ISIS facility based at Rutherford Appleton Laboratory (RAL) in the UK, second target station project was funded, which requires to increase the current intensity by 1.5-times (300 micro-A). Four 2nd harmonic RF cavities will be installed in the ISIS synchrotron in order to increase the trapping efficiency, and to mitigate the space charge detuning. A very low output-impedance RF system for the 2nd harmonic cavity has been developed by the collaboration between RAL, Argonne National Laboratory (US) and KEK (Japan). The system comprises the 240 kW triode as a final amplifier with plate-to-grid feedback path. The measured output-impedance was less than 30 ohms over the frequency range of 2.7 - 6.2 MHz, which agreed well with calculations. High power test was also performed under frequency swept mode at 50 Hz repetition. The operation was almost stable, and more than 12 kVpp was obtained as maximum. The voltage gain of the final amplifier was 25 - 30, which decreased gradually with frequency due to decreasing input-impedance of triode. The beam test is planned at ISIS in near future.
