ABSTRACT
A beam of D_ ions has been produced at 7-13 keV, with currents up to
2.2 A, using charge exchange in sodium vapor. The beam profile is a bi-
Gaussian with angular divergence 0.8 x 2.7* and peak current density 15 mA/
cm2. The characteristics of the beam are in excellent agreement with pre-
dictions based on atomic cross sections. The sodium vapor target is formed by
a jet directed across the beam. The sodium density drops rapidly in the beam-
line downstream from the charge exchange region; decreasing three orders of
magnitude in 15 cm. Measurement and analysis of the plasma accompanying the
beam demonstrate that plasma densities nearly equal to the beam density are
obtained one meter from the charge exchange medium. The plasma produced in
the sodium is thus well confined to the charge exchange region and does not
propagate along the beam.-2
