Modeling of the negative ion extraction from a hydrogen plasma source : application to ITER neutral beam injector

The development of the negative ion source constitutes a crucial step in the construction of the neutral beam injector of ITER. To fulfil the ITER requirements in terms of heating and current drive, the negative ion source should deliver 40 A of D-. The achievement of such a source is challenging fr...
