MECHANICAL DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION OF A 200-mA, 100-KeV, DC, NEGATIVE ION ACCELERATOR

A volume production source and a 100 keV, dc, accelerator together with an additional, modular, 100 keV, electro static focused accelerator provide a starting point for a high energy H/sup -//D/sup -/ beam-line (200 keV to 800 keV), intended for fusion energy applications. The 100 keV accelerator tests started in June 1987. The mechanical design and construction of the accelerator is described. 3 refs., 8 figs.
