Description
The beam brightness of the J-PARC (Japan Proton Accelerator Research Complex) cesiated rf-driven Hˉ ion source has been increased by using several unique measures, including low plasma electrode temperature, slight water feeding in hydrogen plasma and so on [1-3]. The J-PARC source enables high energy linear accelerators to eject a beam with 60 mA peak intensity. The conditions to minimize the co-extracted electron current lower than the Hˉ ion current of 66 mA and the beam qualities attained with the conditions are presented in this paper. The low co-extracted electron current will be necessary for a higher beam duty factor operation.
