abstract:

After installation of Mo liners in the source NIO1 (Negative Ion Optimization phase 1), hydrogen plasmas in a continuous regime operation (much longer than one hour) are routinely maintained, with more than 1 kW rf power and 0.5 Pa pressure, allowing a systematic investigation of pure H- volume effect, which requests a much lower acceleration voltage Vs ≅ 12 kV than future Cs operations at Vs ≅ 60 kV. A new extraction grid EG was installed (replacing some eroded insulators) and preliminary beam images are compared to old EG ones, discussing effects of different deflection field strength and need of intermediate values. Large improvements in beam diagnostics and the effect of installation of a cryogenic pump are also reported.
