Abstract
A source of negative hydrogen ions based on the recharging of a beam of positive ions in a gas target is being developed at the Institute of Nuclear Physics. G.I. Budker SB RAS. The charge exchange source can be used to inject into the tandem accelerator a neutron source intended for boron neutron capture therapy. One of the important elements of the source is the plasma emitter, which creates positive ions for primary acceleration. As an emitter, a high-frequency driver based on an induction discharge and designed for a multi-second operating mode was chosen. In this work, we measured the emission characteristics of a high-frequency driver using a moving grid probe. As a result, the parameters necessary for the use of the driver in a rechargeable source of negative ions have been achieved. The analysis of experimentally measured thermal loads in the multisecond mode is carried out.
