An improvement for the vacuum system of multidriver radio frequency (RF) prototype negative ion source SPIDER has been developed, to allow operating at high RF power, while minimizing breakdown probability on outside plasma source. A first-of-its-kind large nonevaporable getter (NEG) pump, based a modular design 384 cartridges totaling about 350 kg ZAO® alloy (composed by Zr-Ti-V-Al) with an installed pumping speed room temperature 330 m3/s hydrogen, will complement existing system, eight...
In vacuum technology, capture pumps based on Non Evaporable Getters are commonly applied to ultra-high systems. Recent improvements in the absorption of hydrogenic species, with introduction Zr–V–Ti–Al alloys (ZAO®), make them an appealing and viable solution for application fusion research, particular system neutral beam injectors (hydrogen pumping speed thousands m3/s, pressure tens mPa). This paper describes characterization new NEG material increasing dimensions, including development,...
