Scientific paper

Ion injection into the Inertial Electrostatic Confinement (IEC) fusion power plant used in the design of the high performance Fusion Ship II (Burton et al., 2003) is a key technological issue for development of this concept. This paper discusses the design and initial experiments with a radiofrequency (RF) ion gun designed for this purpose. The RF Gun design described here was found to have some important advantages over other ion gun designs: simple construction, a higher extraction efficiency; 10 ((mA/cm2)/W), a lower divergence; 10.8 +/- 0.36 mrad, and a very intensive ion flux; 6 × 1018 ions/(cm2.sec) measured at 0.27 Pa.
