In the high-power proton accelerator facilities, Radio Frequency (RF) driven negative hydrogen ion (H
) sources are adopted as particle sources for the maintenance-free duration over several months and for the stability of the H beam characteristics in the long-term operation. Techniques of RF plasma excitation are also introduced in the fusion field as ion sources of the neutral beam injection (NBI). On the other hand, the RF ion sources have a feature that the extracted beam current and phase space show slight oscillation with input RF frequency. The oscillation of the phase space may lead to mismatches of Twiss parameters or beam loss at the accelerator cavities in the higher-power beam operation. A 3D Particle-In-Cell (PIC) modeling based on Monte-Carlo collision was developed to elucidate the beam oscillation mechanisms. The presentation reports the effects upon the beam formation due to the electric potential fluctuation caused by a capacitive coupling to the internal antenna coil.

Times Cited Count：0 Percentile：0.00(Physics, Particles & Fields)Oscillation of the negative hydrogen ion (H) beam phase space in Radio Frequency (RF) ion source is investigated by a simple 3D Particle-In-Cell (PIC) model which takes into account the transport processes of electron, proton and H in the extraction region. The calculation domain is in vicinity of the single beam aperture in J-PARC ion source configuration. In order to understand relation between the plasma density oscillation and the extracted H beam characteristics, the input electron and proton fluxes from the driver region are varied parametrically with the 1st and the 2nd harmonics of the J-PARC RF frequency (2 or 4 MHz). The numerical results give an idea to the main physical processes between the oscillations of the plasma parameters and the extracted H ion trajectories in the different RF phases. Countermeasures to reduce the oscillation mechanisms are also discussed in the presentation.

Times Cited Count：109 Percentile：94.90(Physics, Fluids & Plasmas)Present status of experiments on zonal flows is overviewed. Innovative use of modern diagnostics has revealed the existence of zonal flows, their spatio-temporal characteristics, their relationship with turbulence, and their effects on confinement. Particularly a number of observations have been accumulated on the oscillatory branch of the zonal flow, dubbed as geodesic acoustic modes suggesting necessity of theories to give their proper description. Several new methods have elucidated the zonal flow generation processes from the turbulence. Further investigation of relationship between the zonal flows and confinement is strongly encouraged as cross-device activity.

Present status of experiments on zonal flows is overviewed. Innovative use of traditional and modern diagnostics has revealed unambiguously the existense of the zonal flows, their spatio-temporal caracteristics, their relationship with turbulence, and their effects on confinement. Particularly, a number of observations have been accumulated on the oscillatory branch of zonal flows, dubbed geodesic acoustic modes, suggesting necessity of theories to give their proper description. Furthur investigation of relationship between zonal flows and confinement is strongly encouraged as cross-device activity.
