Abstract

Descriptions are given of an ion source for a 600-kev proton injector for use with a 10-Bev synchrophasotron. The dimensions and angular divergence of the beam at the tube outlet were designed for linear accelerator injection. The incandescence potential is 7.8 v, incandescence current 6.4 a, arc intensity 90 to 120 v, arc current 30 a, magnetic field in the gap 1000 gauss, discharge chamber gas pressure 1.5 x 10/sup -2/ mm mercury, gas consumption 150 cm/sup 3// h, and the proton component of the current is 75%. The tube clearance diameter (for 600 kev) is 350 mm and the length 1670 mm. The scheme of the power supply and focusing electrodes is included. (R.V.J.)
