Description
An RF-driven long-lifetime H- ion source operating at 50 Hz with 1.5% duty factor and 35 keV beam energy is currently under development for the ISIS Neutron and Muon Source at Rutherford Appleton Laboratory. The new ion source is designed operate with an upgraded medium energy beam transport (MEBT) that will provide improved transport efficiency and reduced beam losses. This paper will give an update on the progress made on the project and an overview of the development of the support equipment required for the operation of the ion source with an emphasis on the details of the RF and high-voltage power supply systems.
