The origin of the H$$^{-}$$ ion beam non-uniformity under the Cesium seeded condition was studied in the JAEA 10 Ampere negative ion source by measuring the profiles of the beam intensity and plasma parameters. The numerical analyses, such as the trace of particles (the electron, the H$$^{0}$$ atom and the H$$^{-}$$ ion) trajectories using the Monte Carlo method, were also applied to consider the experimental results.

The origin of the beam non-uniformity, that is one of the key issues in large Cs-seeded negative ion sources for JT-60U and ITER, was experimentally examined by measuring correlations between the intensity of the H$$^{-}$$ ion beam and plasma parameters such as an electron temperature and plasma density in the JAERI 10 A negative ion source. From the correlation between the beam intensity and the plasma parameters, it was foreseen that the beam non-uniformity was due to the localization of the plasma and/or H0 atoms caused by B x $$nabla$$B drift of the fast electron from filaments. The filament position was modified to suppress the B x $$nabla$$B drift, and then the spatial uniformity of the beam intensity was examined. By this modification, the root-mean-square deviation of the spatial beam intensity from the averaged value deceased to a half of that before modification while the beam intensity integrated along the longitudinal direction was kept to be constant. From this result, it was confirmed that one of the origin of the beam non-uniformity was caused by plasma localization.

Surface production and transport process of H$$^{-}$$ ions are numerically simulated to clarify the origin of H$$^{-}$$ beam non-uniformity. A three-dimensional transport code using Monte Carlo method has been applied to productions of H$$^{0}$$ atoms and H$$^{-}$$ ions in a large negative ion source under the Cs seeded condition. The results show that a large fraction of hydrogen atoms are produced in a high electron temperature region. This leads to a spatial non-uniformity of H$$^{0}$$ atom flux to the plasma grid where H$$^{0}$$ atoms capture electrons and converted to H$$^{-}$$ ions. In addition, most surface-produced H$$^{-}$$ ions are extracted even through the high electron temperature region without destruction.

Numerical analysis of primary electrons in a tandem-type negative ion source

To clarify physics mechanism of plasma spatial nonuniformity observed in tandem-type negative-ion sources, primary electron-transport process has been analyzed by a three-dimensional Monte Carlo simulation code. In the model, equations of motion for electrons are numerically solved. Geometry and magnetic-field configuration of the JAEA 10 Ampere negative ion source are taken into account. Various collision processes with neutral particles are also included in the model. The simulation results show that (1) the primary electrons have been lost from the source region to the extraction region due to magnetic drift in the magnetic filter, and then (2) there is another magnetic drift near the sidewalls, where a sum of magnetic field of the filter and the cusp field for plasma confinement allows electron drift towards the extraction region. A sequence of these magnetic drifts would increase the electron temperature in local area of extraction region, which resulted in loss of negative ions.

In the ITER NB systems, conventional gas insulation technology cannot be utilized because of the conductivity of the insulation gas caused by the radiation from the tokamak plasma. To overcome this problem, a vacuum insulated beam source (VIBS), where the whole beam source is immersed in vacuum, has been developed in JAERI. Recently, voltage holding capability of the VIBS was drastically improved by installing the large stress ring and these progress enables us to perform the high power operation of the VIBS accelerator. For high current density H$$^{-}$$ beam acceleration, modifications were made on KAMABOKO source. At present, H$$^{-}$$ beam current density is 146 A/m$$^{2}$$ at 836 keV (input arc power; 40 kW, operation pressure; 0.3 Pa). The acceleration of 900 keV, 0.1 A level beam was accomplished for 175 shots during the test campaign. The beam acceleration was quite stable and the degradation of the voltage holding due to the beam acceleration and/or Cs seeding was not observed.

The R&D of a 1 MeV accelerator and a large negative ion source has been carried out at JAERI for the ITER NB system. The R&D is in progress at present toward: (1) 1 MeV acceleration of H$$^{-}$$ ion beams at the ITER relevant current density of 200 A/m$$^{2}$$, and (2) improvement of uniform negative ion production over wide extraction area in large negative ion sources. Recently, H$$^{-}$$ ion beams of 1 MeV, 140 mA level have been generated with a substantial beam current density (100 A/m$$^{2}$$). In the uniformity study, it has been clarified that electron temperature in the ion extraction region is locally high ($$>$$ 1 eV), which resulted in destruction of negative ions at a high reaction rate. Interception of fast electrons leaking through a transverse magnetic field called "magnetic filter" has been found effective to lower the local electron temperature, followed by an improvement of negative ion beam profile.

The R&D of a 1 MeV accelerator and a large negative ion source have been carried out at JAERI. The paper presents following progress as a step toward ITER NB system. (1) Accelerator R&D: According to success in improvement of voltage holding capability, the acceleration test of H$$^{-}$$ ions up to 1 MeV class energy is in progress. H$$^{-}$$ ion beams of 1 MeV, 100 mA class have been generated with a substantial beam current density (100 A/m$$^{2}$$), and the current density is still increasing by the ion source tuning. (2) Large ion source R&D: One of major causes that limited the NB injection performance was spatial unifomity of negative ion production in existing negative-ion based NB systems. The present study revealed that the negative ions produced in the extraction region of the source were locally destructed by fast electrons leaking through magnetic filter. Some countermeasures and their test results are also described.

Acceleration of 100 A/m$$^{2}$$ negative hydrogen ion beams in a 1 MeV vacuum insulated beam source

The accelerator for the ITER NB system is required to produce 1 MeV, 40 A D-ion beams for 16.5 MW neutral beam injection per module. In the ITER NB system, conventional gas insulated beam source cannot be adopted because of the radiation-induced conductivity of the insulation gas. Thus a vacuum insulated beam source (VIBS), where the whole beam source is immersed in vacuum, had been developed in JAERI. Recently, voltage holding capability of the VIBS was drastically improved by installing the large stress ring, which reduces the electric field concentration at the negative side triple junction. Having improved the voltage holding capability of the VIBS, the H$$^{-}$$ ion beams were extracted with seeding cesium to enhance the negative ion currents. Up to now, we had been succeeded in accelerating the H$$^{-}$$ beam of 102 A/m$$^{2}$$ (140 mA) at 800 keV. The beam acceleration was quite stable and accomplished for several hundreds shots in several experimental campaigns.
