Abstract

The negative ion beam optics is studied quantitatively from the viewpoints of the heat loads due to the beam halo in the accelerator and the emittance of the negative ion beam by using the 3D3V PIC model combined with a Monte Carlo calculation, in which negative ion beam from plasma meniscus formation to the beam acceleration is modeled. As for the heat loads of the A2G and the GRG, the simulation result almost agrees with the experimental result. The simulation result indicates that the secondary electrons from the extractor also contribute to the heat load of the A1G. Moreover, the normalized rms emittance of the negative ion beam after the exit of the GRG are estimated to be around 0.25π mm mrad, which are compatible with the typical values of the negative ion sources.
