Abstract:
The development of research in the field of nuclear physics stimulates the setting of ambitious tasks in the sphere of developing ion sources with previously unattainable characteristics. The existing sources of multiply charged ions (MCI) today are unable to meet all the requirements of flagship projects and provide a sufficiently high current of high-charge ions. One of the approaches to creating the required MCI sources is associated with the use of a high-current quasi-gasdynamic source of multiply charged ions. For conducting this research, the SMIS 37/75 facility is used at the Institute of Applied Physics of the Russian Academy of Sciences after its significant modernization, the main results of which are presented in this work.
Keywords:high-current ion source, electron cyclotron resonance, magnetic plasma confinement, multicharged ions, gyrotron.
