A 15-cm DUOPIGATRON ION SOURCE
A 15-cm DuoPIGatron ion source has been developed as a neutral beam source. This source has achieved extracted beam currents of 20A at 30kV and 20ms, target power of 463kW and beam divergence of 1.6°. In this paper, the structure, experimental system, experimental results and the performance of the developed source are presented.
