TUPOT007 | Preliminary Design of BLISI, an Off Resonance Microwave Proton Source | 130 |
|
||
A new high current off resonance microwave H+ source is currently in the last stages of design at ESS-Bilbao, in collaboration with two external companies Elytt and AVS. The design is intended to be a high-stability, high-current ion source capable of delivering a 70 mA proton beam with a 70 keV energy at the end of the extraction. The plasma system designed by Elytt consists of a water-cooled plasma chamber that sits between two independently powered magnetic coils that generate the ECR magnetic field; in addition they can be moved independently to further shape the magnetic field in the chamber. A CPI 2.7 GHz klystron provides the microwave energy and a fully controlled microwave system to minimize reflected power and improve the source overall performance is also under construction. The extraction column designed by AVS will consist of a movable tetrode system designed for a maximum acceleration potential of 70 kV, the shape of the electrodes is at an earlier design stage at ESS-Bilbao. We will present the current layout of the source, simulations and schematics of the source. | ||
