Negative ion sources for fusion are high densities plasma sources in large discharge
volumes. There are many challenges in the modeling of these sources, due to numerical …

Increased interest in negative ion sources in recent years is strongly associated with the
growing importance of negative ion beams for a range of scientific applications, including for …

We model the extraction of negative ions from a high brightness high power magnetized
negative ion source. The model is a Particle-In-Cell (PIC) algorithm with Monte-Carlo …

A number of recent papers have been devoted to the modeling of negative ion extraction
using particle simulations but the published results are not entirely satisfactory and not fully …

Abstract The KAHVE Laboratory, at Boğaziçi University, Istanbul, Turkey is home to an
educational proton linac project. The proton beam will originate from a 20 keV H+ source …

Ion-beam-based techniques are widely utilized to synthesize, modify, and characterize
materials at the nanoscale, with applications from the semiconductor industry to medicine …

Topics covered in this chapter include: Formation and destruction of negative ions; charge-
exchange methods for negative ion production; charge-exchange negative ion sources; …

The Science and Technology of Particle Accelerators provides an accessible introduction to
the field, and is suitable for advanced undergraduates, graduate students, and academics …

Linac4 is the new negative hydrogen ion (H $^-$) linear accelerator of the European
Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN). Its ion source operates on the principle of Radio …

A significant challenge to engine design is the development of combustion systems that
