Abstrakt: The paper describes experiments on the generation and transport of a low energy (70-120 keV), high intensity (10-30 A/cm²) microsecond duration H+ ion beam (IB) in vacuum and plasma. The IB was generated in a magnetically insulated diode (MID) with an applied radial B field and an active hydrogen-puff ion source. The annular IB, with an initial density of ji ∼ 10-20 A/cm² at the anode surface, was ballistically focused to a current density in the focal plane of 50-80 A/cm². The postcathode collimation and transport of the converging IB were provided by the combination of a "concave" thyroidal magnetic lens followed by a straight transport solenoid section. With optimized MID parameters and magnetic fields in the lens/solenoid system, the overall efficiency of IB transport at the exit of the solenoid 1 m from the anode was ∼ 50% with an IB current density of 20 A/cm². Two-dimensional computer simulations of post-MID IB transport supported the optimization of system parameters. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
