Development and Applications of Negative Ion Sources This book covers the development of sources of negative ions and their application in science and industry. It describes the physical foundations and implementation of the key methods of negative ion production and control such as charge exchange thermionic emission secondary emission (sputtering) and surface plasma sources as well as the history of their development. Following on from this essential foundational material the book goes on to explore transport of negative ion beams and beam plasma instabilities. With exposition accessible at the graduate level and a comprehensive bibliography this book will appeal to all students and researchers whose work concerns ion sources and their applications to accelerators beam physics storage rings cyclotrons and plasma traps Chapter1: Introduction Chapter2: Charge exchange Technologies Control of Flow of accelerated particles Chapter3: Methods of negative ion beam production Chapter4: Surface Plasma Method for negative ion beam production Chapter5: Surface Plasma negative ion Sources Chapter6: Transportation of high brightness negative ion beams space charge compensation Instability Chapter7: General Remarks on the Surface Plasma Method of negative ion beams production Bibliography
