A 1.5D fluid-Monte Carlo model of a hydrogen helicon plasma

Ivo Furno, Alan Howling, Philippe Frédérique Bruno Guittienne, Rémy Jacquier, Riccardo Agnello

Helicon plasma sources operating with hydrogen or deuterium might be attractive for fusion applications due to their higher power efficiency compared to inductive radiofrequency plasma sources. In recent years, the resonant antenna ion device (RAID) has be ...

Negative hydrogen ion dynamics inside the plasma volume of a linear device: Estimates from particle-in-cell calculations

Ivo Furno, Alan Howling, Philippe Frédérique Bruno Guittienne, Rémy Jacquier, Riccardo Agnello

Negative hydrogen or deuterium ions are the precursor particles used to generate a high power beam of neutrals in order to heat the tokamak plasma core of magnetic fusion devices, inject current, and to some extent control instabilities. In the case of ITE ...

Helicon wave plasma generated by a resonant birdcage antenna: magnetic field measurements and analysis in the RAID linear device

Ivo Furno, Alan Howling, Philippe Frédérique Bruno Guittienne, Rémy Jacquier, Riccardo Agnello

This paper describes a helicon-wave-sustained plasma generated by a novel birdcage antenna with cosine azimuthal current distribution. The resonant birdcage source maintains a stable intense plasma column from low (300 W) to high (10 kW) steady-state RF po ...

Negative ion characterization in a helicon plasma source for fusion neutral beams by cavity ring-down spectroscopy and Langmuir probe laser photodetachment

Ivo Furno, Alan Howling, Philippe Frédérique Bruno Guittienne, Rémy Jacquier, Riccardo Agnello, Gennady Plyushchev

Negative ions are characterized in the helicon plasma source resonant antenna ion device (RAID) at the Swiss plasma center by means of cavity ring-down spectroscopy (CRDS) and Langmuir probe (LP)-assisted laser photodetachment. A high density and axially h ...

Magnetic field configurational study on a helicon-based plasma source for future neutral beam systems

Ivo Furno, Alan Howling, Philippe Frédérique Bruno Guittienne, Rémy Jacquier, Riccardo Agnello

A helicon-based plasma source is under development and exploration at CEA-IRFM to produce an efficient and dense magnetized plasma column. The final objective of this development is the extraction and acceleration of a blade-like negative ion beam in view ...

Two-fluid plasma model for radial Langmuir probes as a converging nozzle with sonic choked flow, and sonic passage to supersonic flow

Ivo Furno, Alan Howling, Philippe Frédérique Bruno Guittienne

Using the Lambert function, Guittienne et al. [Phys. Plasmas 25, 093519 (2018)] derived two-fluid solutions for radial Langmuir probes in collisionless and isothermal plasma. In this Brief Communication, we point out the close analogy with classical compre ...

First B-dot measurements in the RAID device, an alternative negative ion source for DEMO neutral beams

Ivo Furno, Alan Howling, Philippe Frédérique Bruno Guittienne, Rémy Jacquier, Riccardo Agnello, Gennady Plyushchev, Claudio Marini

As a new concept of Neutral Beam Injectors (NBI) for DEMO-like reactors, SIPHORE (IRFM, CEA, in France) expects to extract negative deuterium ions and photo-neutralize the accelerated D-. The Swiss Plasma Center (SPC) of EPFL is involved in this project by ...

RF bias to suppress post-oxidation of mu c-Si:H films deposited by inductively-coupled plasma using a planar RF resonant antenna

Ivo Furno, Alan Howling, Philippe Frédérique Bruno Guittienne, Rémy Jacquier

One challenge for microcrystalline silicon (mu c-Si:H) deposition is to achieve high deposition rates while maintaining high quality films. In this work, an inductively-coupled plasma (ICP) is used to deposit mu c-Si:H on glass substrates by means of a nov ...

Cavity ring-down spectroscopy to measure negative ion density in a helicon plasma source for fusion neutral beams

Ivo Furno, Alan Howling, Philippe Frédérique Bruno Guittienne, Yanis Andrebe, Rémy Jacquier, Riccardo Agnello, Gennady Plyushchev

Cavity Ring Down Spectroscopy (CRDS) is used to measure the D- absolute density produced in the helicon plasma reactor RAID (Resonant Antenna Ion Device) at the Swiss Plasma Center. The birdcage geometry of the helicon antenna produces a homogeneous, high- ...

Two-fluid solutions for Langmuir probes in collisionless and isothermal plasma, over all space and bias potential

Ivo Furno, Alan Howling, Philippe Frédérique Bruno Guittienne

This paper presents solutions for the classical one-dimensional (1D radial and Cartesian) problem of Langmuir probes in a collisionless, isothermal plasma. The method is based on two-fluid equations derived from the first two moments of Vlasov's equation. ...
