Neutral Beam Injectors (NBI) based on negative ion conversion are fundamental to increase the plasma temperature in magnetic confinement fusion devices.. In the framework of the accompanying activities in support to the ITER NBI test facility a relatively compact radiofrequency (RF) ion source, named NIO1 (Negative Ion Optimization phase 1) is being developed and tested in Padua, Italy, in...

Low pressure ExB partly (electron) magnetized plasmas plays a key role not only in different plasma-based devices, such as Hall-effect thruster and negative ion source. In the first, the magnetic field allows a better electron confinment increasing the propellant ionization and ion acceleration efficiencies, while in the second the magnetic filter field allows the electron temperature and...
