We took P NMR measurements of mainly paramagnetic phase to reveal the itinerant-electron metamagnetic transition, and of its magnetically ordered phase, and characterized their spin fluctuations by estimating the spin fluctuation parameter corresponding to the width of the spin fluctuation in the spectrum in frequency space. As increases from 0 to 0.5, the in-plane component of decreases proportionally with the metamagnetic transition field. In the antiferromagnetic cT phase, is constant and spin fluctuations show an isotropic character in contrast to their behavior in the paramagnetic ucT phase. These results indicate that the in-plane spin fluctuations due to the quasi-two-dimensional crystal structure play a significant role in the metamagnetic transition of this system.

Plasma neutralizer is one of key components to achieve the required system efficiency ( 50 %) for a negative-ion based neutral beam (N-NB) system in a fusion power plant. In the plasma neutralizer, highly ionized plasma is required at lower pressure, e.g., ionization degrees of 30 % at 0.08 Pa for 1 MeV negative ions. In such low pressure, mean free path of fast electron that contributes to ionizations becomes longer than the neutralizer's dimensions. Therefore, suppression of fast electron leakage from large openings that are beam entrance and exit is a crucial issue to realize plasma neutralizers. To suppress the fast electron leakage from the openings, authors propose a shield field, which is a weak transverse magnetic field of only 30 Gauss applied locally around the opening. The shield field are numerically examined and designed by using a three dimensional particle orbit code. In the experimental studies, this weak shield field is applied at the openings (diam. = 20 cm) of an arc discharge driven plasma neutralizer (length = 200 cm, diam. = 60 cm). The plasma parameters inside and outside of the opening were measured by a Langmuir probe. The electron energy distribution function (EEDF) showed that considerable fast electrons, which were leaked from the opening, were suppressed successfully by the weak shield field of 30 Gauss. Thus the leaking fast electrons were repelled into the neutralizer to deposit their energy for the plasma production. At a result, the plasma production efficiency (plasma density / arc power) was improved by a factor of 1.5 at 0.08 Pa.

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), 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.

The paper reports progress of proof-of-principle test of negative ion accelerator for ITER. The accelerator structure is immersed in vacuum, surrounded by a FRP insulator column as the vacuum boundary. So far, the beam energy has been limited due to poor voltage holding capability of the FRP insulator column. By lowering the electric field strength at the triple junction (interface of FRP insulator, metal flange and vacuum) with large stress ring installed inside the insulator column, high voltage of 1 MV was stably sustained for more than 2 hours. In the following beam test, acceleration of 900 keV, 100 mA H ion beam was succeeded. Although the current was lower (70 mA) at 1 MeV, the beam of this level has been stably accelerated for 6 days, 130 shots in total (each pulse length: 1 s).

Recently the ion source for IFMIF (International Fusion Material Irradiation facility) achieved positive ion beams of 120 mA with the proton ratio of 90% by applying magnetic filter even in a small ion source. The mechanism of a high proton ration plasma production in such a small ion source has not been studied. Molecular ions are destroyed and the proton is produced from the dissociation of molecular ions in the filter region. Thus the proton yield is enhanced even in the small volume discharge. Using the same numerical method, the plasma production was calculated for the large ion source. The high proton ratio can be easily obtained, where the contribution of proton production by the ionization of H becomes high. From the negative ion production point of view, the negative ion beam current was numerically evaluated. The high atom flux to the plasma grid generates the large amount of negative ions rather than that by the positive ions in Cs-seeded large ion sources.
