Mr #4#4sfol ABSTRACT The results of experimental studies on an optimized version of the Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory (LBL) volume source are presented. Negative ion yields and emittance data were obtained for operation with both H-and D-beams. At high arc power, H-beam currents up to 10mA with rms normalized emittances of O.0080n q cm" mrad were obtained from a 6.3-mmdiam emission aperture, The yiekls of D-beams were approximately half those of H-beams, and the normalized emittances were 1.7 times smaller at the same current density. The results of these studies indicate that the present operation is limited by the extraction system rather than the ion source. 'Work performed under the auspices of theU.S.Dept. of Energyand supportedby the U,S, Army StrategicDefenseCommand.
