  8. Scope of the Study • Purpose • Identify how changes to system parameters (dimensions and voltage potentials) affect H¯ beam characteristics • Provide data to aid an engineer in optimizing the design of an extraction lens system with regards to beam characteristics Thesis Defence Karine Le Du

  9. Beam Characteristics • Normalized Beam Emittance, εN • Describes size of beam in phase space • Energy normalized • Beam Current, I • Percent of beam transmitted • Low and high beam current applications • Beam Brightness, b Thesis Defence Karine Le Du

  10. Phase Space • Four important coordinates that completely describe an ion’s trajectory are (x, x’, y, y’) • (x, y): transverse position • (x’, y’): divergence from longitudinal axis • z: longitudinal position Thesis Defence Karine Le Du

  11. Beam ellipse x’ x Beam Size • Beam Size: • Area enclosed in beam ellipse • Beam Emittance: • Proportional to beam size Thesis Defence Karine Le Du

  12. Optimal Beam Characteristics • Normalized Beam Emittance, εN • minimize • Small emittance is more efficient • Beam Current, I • Depends on application • Beam Brightness, b • maximize • Achieved by maximizing beam current or minimizing normalized beam emittance Thesis Defence Karine Le Du

  13. Computer Simulation Model • SIMION 3D, Version 7.0, INEEL* • Model consists of 3 electrostatic lenses *Idaho National Engineering and Environmental Laboratory Thesis Defence Karine Le Du

  14. ASSUMPTIONS No plasma meniscus JUSTIFICATIONS Beyond the scope of this study Assumptions Made • No filter magnet • e¯ stripped out early • Ignored space charge repulsion and image forces • Beyond the scope of this study Thesis Defence Karine Le Du

  15. System Parameters • E1: Plasma Electrode • E2: Extraction Electrode • E3: Shoulder Electrode • V1: Voltage Potential of E1 • V2: “ “ of E2 • V3: “ “ of E3 • A1: Aperture of E1 • A2: “ “ E2 • A3: “ “ E3 • D12: Spacing between E1/E2 • D23: “ “ E2/E3 Thesis Defence Karine Le Du

  20. Limitations/Future Work • Test results limited to ranges of parameter values tested • Test wider ranges of values • Beam loss occurred at downstream aperture of E2 • Downstream aperture had fixed size • May be cause of apparent ineffectiveness in changing A2 and A3 parameter values? • Implement space charge repulsion • Vary plasma meniscus curvature • Implement magnetic filter Thesis Defence Karine Le Du
