We present results from initial experiments with a high impedance applied-B extraction diode on the SABRE ten stage linear induction accelerator (6 MV, 300 kA). We have demonstrated efficient coupling of power from the accelerator through an extended MTTL (Magnetically Insulated Transmission Line) into a high intensity ion beam. Both MITL electron flow in the diode region and ion diode behavior, including ion source turn-on, virtual cathode formation and evolution, enhancement delay, and ion coupling efficiency, are strongly influenced by the geometry of the diode insulating magnetic field. For our present diode electrode geometry, electrons from the cathode feed play a large role in the evolution of the virtual cathode. Both experimental data and particle-in-cell numerical simulations show that a uniform radial distribution of these feed electrons is required for uniform ion emission and efficient diode operation.
