Diagnosing light ion beam diodes

C. W. Mendel-1982-01-01-University of North Texas Digital Library (University of North Texas)

TL;DRAbstract

This lecture begins with a discussion of diagnostics in ion-beam diodes. This will include electromagnetic measurements, measurements of the electron cloud, and measurements of anode plasmas. A few minutes will be spent on diagnostics of distributed ion sources required for one class of ion diodes, the plasma-filled versions, which require high-density, highly ionized sources of very uniform plasma. The measurements of the beam characteristics will then be discussed. This will be broken into two regions; the region near the diode where diagnostics are generally extensions of those used in other fields; and the region near focus where new diagnostics have been developed.
