Abstract

A program is underway to construct a 2 MV, 800 mA, K⁺ injector for heavy ion fusion. The electrostatic quadrupole injector configuration consists of a zeolite source, a diode of up to 1 MV, together with several electrostatic quadrupole units to simultaneously focus and accelerate the beam to 2 MV. The key issues of source technology, high voltage breakdown, beam aberrations, and transient effects are discussed. Results from ongoing experiments and simulations are presented
