Testing of the alumino-silicate ion source and the contact ionizer at high current density was satisfactory. The dispensers embedded in the extraction electrode were capable of providing sufficient cesium vapor coverage to the ionizer thus shows a promising way of constructing an ionizer for long term heavy ion fusion applications.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
