Abstract

In order to understand the H- extraction mechanism and investigate the effect of the extraction voltage applied by the puller-electrode on the H- extraction in the Linac4 negative ion source, we are developing a 2D3V-PIC (two dimensions in the real space and three dimensions in the velocity space, Particle in Cell) model with volume produced H- ions. It is shown that how to take the magnetic filter field direction is important for the 2D modeling to take into account the important 3D effect of electron ExB drift. It is also shown that the meniscus formation is not symmetric due to the electron ExB drift in the extraction region and the divergence of the H- beam is asymmetric. In order to make more quantitative comparison of the extracted H- and electron currents with the experiments and 3D modeling, further improvements, especially the electron loss along the magnetic filter field line will be needed.
