Abstract:
A negative ion-based beam injector comprising a negative ion source and an accelerator. The ions produced by the ion source are pre-accelerated before injection into a high energy accelerator by an electrostatic multi-aperture grid pre-accelerator, which is used to extract ion beams from the plasma and accelerate to some fraction of the required beam energy. The beam from the ion source passes through a pair of deflecting magnets, which enable the beam to shift off axis before entering the high energy accelerator. The negative ion-based beam injector can be combined with a neutralizer to produce about a 5 MW neutral beam with energy of about 0.50 to 1.0 MeV. After acceleration to full energy, the beam enters the neutralizer where it is partially converted into a neutral beam. The remaining ion species are separated by a magnet and directed into electrostatic energy converters. The neutral beam passes through a gate valve and enters a plasma chamber.

Claim (Index 2):
A negative ion-based beam injector comprises\n an ion source configured to produce a negative ion beam, an accelerator spaced apart from the ion source, and a transition zone interposing the ion source and the accelerator, the transition zone comprises a low energy beam transport line, wherein the low energy beam transport line includes bending magnets that deflect the beam orthogonally to the beam's direction of motion and focus the beam onto the axis of the accelerator.
