Development of a gas-inlet system into the ion source of an atom injector of Globus-M tokamak and the optimization of the atomic beam parameters

Resumo

A new gas-inlet system in the gas-discharge chamber of an ion source has been developed that makes it possible to adjust the arc discharge burning mode and the parameters of the plasma ion emitter. The measurements of the main electrotechnical parameters of the ion source and signals of secondary-emission probes have been performed. Based on the obtained data, the profile of power distribution in a beam has been restored. The optimum form of the control signal for the gas inlet valve of the atom injector of the spherical Globus-M tokamak has been selected.
