Abstract
The space charge disruption of an intense ion beam has been observed and studied in detail by injecting an intense annular ion beam into a half-cusp magnetic field in vacuum. Subsequently, a rotating intense ion beam was formed without space charge disruption by injecting the annular ion beam (∼70 keV, 5 kA, 400 nsec, radius; R=10 cm, ni≂5×1011/cc) into a half-cusp magnetic field in which space charge neutralization was obtained by a fully ionized plasma (ne≂5×1013/cc) produced by a plasma source of large caliber (220 mm diameter). The induced net current in the plasma was found to arise from the rotating ion beam itself.
