Optical Emission Spectroscopy (OES) on the SPIDER negative ion source has been
collecting data since the beginning of operation in Summer 2018. The first few months were …

The appropriate cesium adsorption on the converter (plasma grid) in the negative ion source
is expected to lower surface work function, thus enhancing negative ion production and …

We studied the work function of cesium deposition and co-deposition with the
electronegative element on the plasma grid (PG) using the first-principles calculations. The …

The review provides a systematic analysis of the studies carried out mainly in the last
decade in which thethermodynamic properties and vapourization of the systems containing …

SPIDER is the 100 keV full-size Negative Ion Source prototype of the ITER Neutral Beam
Injector, operating at Consorzio RFX in Padova, Italy. The largest Negative Ion Source in the …

The high-density beam in the NBI negative ion source relies on surface production on the
converter with low work function, which is facilitated by cesium injection. Maintaining the …

The present work is to develop an infra-red (IR) camera based in situ diagnostic tool for the
determination of cesium (Cs) coverage suitable for ion source applications. Cs seeding is …

Precise control of the Cs-Te stoichiometric deposition ratio during the photocathode
fabrication process is essential to optimize the resulting quantum efficiency (QE) and …

Abstract Experimental, analytical and Monte Carlo (MC) based study has been performed to
investigate the nozzle structure of the cesium (Cs) vapour delivery tube of a Cs oven to …
