Production of high-current large-area H/sup -/ beams by a bucket-type ion source equipped with a magnetic filter

A negative-ion-based neutral beam injection (NBI) system is planned for plasma heating of the Large Helical Device (LHD). We have developed a negative ion source, which is 1/3 the scale of the source for the NBI. A magnetic filter held was generated by external permanent magnets to lower the electron temperature in a large-area bucket plasma source (35 cm/spl times/62 cm) for efficient H/sup -/ production. We investigated the magnetic field configuration and found a low electron temperature high density plasma ( 15 A: 1/3 current of LHD ion source). Based on the results, we are designing a negative ion source for the LHD.
