Experimental report measures plasma parameters in a high-intensity proton source, indicating operational efficiency.
The intense proton source TRIPS, designed for the TRASCO project and now under installation at the Laboratori Nazionali di Legnaro, has been operational for 4 years at INFN-LNS and now all the macroscopic parameters are well defined, as for beam current, beam emittance, neutralization factor and reliability. No information has been available up to now about the plasma parameters for such a type of microwave discharge ion source, except for theoretical estimations. This report will describe the measurements of electron and ion density, temperature, plasma potential for typical operational conditions, along with the description of the experimental set-up used for the measurements, based on a Langmuir Probe
