ITER-relevant 600 s steady-state extraction of negative hydrogen ions at the test facility ELISE

The neutral beam heating system for the future international fusion experiment ITER will be based on radio-frequency driven ion sources delivering a large (≈1 × 2 m ^2 ) and homogeneous negative hydrogen or deuterium ion beam of several ten Amperes for several hundred seconds. The size scaling exper...

description The neutral beam heating system for the future international fusion experiment ITER will be based on radio-frequency driven ion sources delivering a large (≈1 × 2 m ^2 ) and homogeneous negative hydrogen or deuterium ion beam of several ten Amperes for several hundred seconds. The size scaling experiment ELISE (Extraction from a Large Ion Source Experiment) is an integral part of the R&D road-map towards the ITER neutral beam heating system. Recently, 90% of the ITER target for the extracted current density was achieved in hydrogen for 600 s, increasing the pulse length over which such current densities can be achieved by a factor of more than ten. For ten second beam pulses the ITER target current density was achieved. These breakthrough results are made possible by using a steady-state capable high-voltage power supply together with an improved version of internal potential rods and a modified topology of the magnetic filter field.
