Abstract

Negative hydrogen ion beams have numerous applications. They are necessary for producing beams of energetic neutral atoms, which are important in magnetic fusion for heating, fueling, and current drive. Accelerators also need negative ion beams since charge exchange injection and extraction are more efficient than other methods. One approach under investigation for strategic defense is the use of powerful beams of neutral atoms derived from negative hydrogen ions.
