Abstract

The results of the first experiments on studying the volume production of negative hydrogen ions using a dense gasdynamic plasma of an electron cyclotron resonance (ECR) discharge sustained by continuous wave (CW) microwave radiation from a gyrotron (28 GHz/5 kW) are described. The ECR hydrogen discharge is ignited in a vacuum chamber placed in a magnetic field created by a system of two consecutive magnetic traps. The system parameters are optimized to obtain the maximum average current density of negative ions at the level of j = 25 mA/cm2. The study involves the determination of the negative ion production area, me-asurement of the current density dependences on gas pressure and microwave radiation power, and demonstration of potential optimization opportunities for extraction voltage.
