Abstract The high efficiency of a new ion beam extraction system with a strongly inhomogeneous electric field has been experimentally demonstrated. Previously, this approach was proposed and analysed numerically by the authors. The experiment was carried out using a pulsed high-current electron-cyclotron resonance (ECR) ion source SMIS 37 with high frequency (37.5 GHz) and high power (100 kW) microwave plasma heating. The accelerating field strength is increased (when compared to a flat or a quasi-pierced geometry) in the plasma meniscus region due to its inhomogeneity. It allows for the increase of the ion acceleration rate and for expansion of the available range of current densities with effective ion beam formation. The experiment demonstrated the main advantages of this approach, such as: a significant decrease in the optimal accelerating voltage for certain values of current density; a possibility of ion beam formation with previously inaccessible current densities; a significant decrease in the ion flux to the puller in non-optimal modes of ion beam formation. Proton beams with a current density of up to 1.1 A cm-2 were obtained for the first time with an ECR ion source.

The study of an ion beam transport mechanism contributes to the production of a good quality ion beam with a higher current and better beam emittance. The simulation of an ion beam provides the basis for optimizing the extraction system and the acceleration gap for the ion source. In order to extract an ion beam from an ion source, a carefully designed electrode system for the required beam energy must be used. In our case, a self-extracted penning ion source is used for ion generation, extraction and acceleration with a single accelerating gap for the production of neutrons. The characteristics of the ion beam extracted from this ion source were investigated using computer code SIMION 8.0. The ion trajectories from different locations of the plasma region were investigated. The simulation process provided a good platform for a study on optimizing the extraction and focusing system of the ion beam transported to the required target position without any losses and provided an estimation of beam emittance.
