摘要
A "plasma window" was developed for use with a SHINE accelerator-based neutron source. In this work, the design of the plasma window is presented along with results demonstrating successful operation in deuterium over a range of aperture diameters (5-12 mm), gas flow rates (3.5 to 12.5 slm), and input powers (10-55 kW). An empirically determined relationship between the aperture diameter, deuterium gas flow rate, input power, and plasma window pressure differential is also presented.
