Brookhaven Technology Group, Inc., was awarded a new Phase I SBIR grant to develop an advanced surface plasma source for reliable long time production of H¯/D¯ beams with high brightness and high pulsed current and average intensity up to ~20mA. The principal goal of this project is to develop a high performance, long lifetime surface plasma H¯ source by using a unique new highly efficient helicon discharge plasma generator. The plasma flux formed by this helicon discharge will be used for surface plasma generation of H¯.

In Phase I, simulations of plasma generation, ion/atom conversion, and H¯/D¯ surface-plasma generation will be carried out to prove the feasibility of this new approach. The discharge system will be studied, beam extraction and formation including electron suppression will be designed, and computer simulated.

This is the third Phase I SBIR awarded to BTG for development of negative ion source technology. In previous years the company received Phase I and Phase II funding to design, build, and test a high brightness, long lived source of heavy negative ions (HNIS). This source is now available for commercialization. More information about the HNIS is available on this website.
