Abstract

Penning Ion Gauge (PIG) source has been used in internal source for cyclotron. The PIG source produces Hions. This source consists of cold cathode which discharges electrons for producing H- ions and anode for making plasma wall. Tantalum which is cold cathode was used for emitting electrons and tungsten copper alloy was used for anode. Optimization of cathode and anode location and sizing were needed for simplifying this source for reducing the size of compact cyclotron. Transportation of electrons and number of secondary electrons has been calculated by CST particle studio. Calculation of PIG source in 9 MeV cyclotron has been performed by using various anodes with different size of expansion gap between the plasma boundary and the anode wall. In this paper design process and experiment result is reported.
