Negative ion production in cesium seeded high electron temperature plasmas

Inoue, Takashi; Tobari, Hiroyuki; Takado, Naoyuki*; Hanada, Masaya; Kashiwagi, Mieko; Hatayama, Akiyoshi*; Wada, Motoi*; Sakamoto, Keishi

In experiments on uniformity improvement in a large negative ion source, steep gradients have been observed in the profiles of electron temperature and H$$^{-}$$ ion beam intensity. It has been observed that the gradient in the H$$^{-}$$ ion beam intensity is altered by seeding Cesium, though the electron temperature distribution is not affected by the Cs. Thus in the Cs seeded condition, the H$$^{-}$$ ion beam intensity is enhanced in local area illuminated by high-electron temperature plasmas. A brief analysis suggests possible advantages of high-electron temperature plasmas for the negative ion surface production, by enhancement of dissociation to yield proton or atoms as parent particles of the negative ions.
